The Las Vegas Raiders teetered on the edge of the abyss—or a black hole if you will—only to find their way to a miraculous 33-27 overtime victory Monday against the Baltimore Ravens.
Fans booed an uninspired first-half effort during the first fully attended football game at Allegiant Stadium since the pandemic began. The Ravens looked like all-but-certain victors on multiple occasions. The Raiders did everything in their power to give away the contest.
Yet an unheralded bunch of targets emerged throughout the contest to breathe life into the franchise and reset a season before it even had a chance to truly begin.
