The Oakland Raiders brought in Marshawn Lynch to set the tone, and close, and he did both those things Sunday night at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.
The powerful running back carried the ball 14 times in the Raiders 27-24 win, finishing his outing with two touchdowns, a team-high 57 rushing yards, as well as the delivery of the proverbial nail in the coffin for the Miami Dolphins.
With 7:21 left in the fourth quarter, and the Silver and Black holding onto a four-point lead, Carr led the Raiders offense down the field, and when the group got down near the goal line, Lynch went to work, rumbling in from three yards to extend the Raiders lead to ten points with 4:37 left in regulation.
