Daniel Carlson is so clutch and money that it’s time to take away the moniker bestowed upon Daniel Jones. The true “Danny Dimes” wears No. 2 for the Las Vegas Raiders.
The 6-foot-5, 215-pound Auburn product is simply Captain Clutch. With everyone sweating profusely and on the edge of their seats during a 32-all stalemate between the Raiders and visiting Los Angeles Chargers Sunday night, it was Carlson who was ice cold, calm and collected. The Raiders place kicker drilled the game-winning 47-yard field goal — his biggest dime of the 2021 regular season — through the uprights for the 35-32 victory to punch Las Vegas playoff ticket and send Allegiant Stadium into pure pandemonium.
