Raiders rally for Mexico City victory

MEXICO CITY - The altitude at Azteca Stadium must have been to blame. Because the Raiders offense couldn’t breath until the fourth quarter.

Outplayed by the Texans most of the night, Derek Carr and Oakland struck quickly Monday night. After fullback Jamize Olawale tied the game with a long touchdown pass, Carr found Latavius Murray for a 39-yard catch and run and then Amari Cooper for a 35-yard game-winner with 4:43 left in the game.

Cooach Jack Del Rio put the cherry on the 27-20 victory when he went for it on 4th-and-1 with 58 seconds left.
