INGLEWOOD, Calif. -- Alexander Mattison, or Renaldo Nehemiah?

Mattison, a running back in his first season with the Las Vegas Raiders, made like the former world class hurdler Sunday at SoFi Stadium when he, yes, hurdled over Los Angeles Chargers cornerback Asante Samuel Jr and ran by Chargers linebacker Daiyan Henley for a 31-yard catch-and-run touchdown.

Mattison, who signed as a free agent with the Raiders in the offseason after five seasons with the Minnesota Vikings, took the pass from new Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew in the right flat before making the leap over Samuel.
