Packers Sit 33 Players, Fall to Raiders in Preseason on Shortened 80-Yard Field

The Oakland Raiders topped the Green Bay Packers 22-21 on a last-second field goal by Daniel Carlson in their Week 3 preseason matchup Thursday night at Investors Group Field in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

However, the most notable action happened prior to kickoff. The playing field was shortened to 80 yards after a hole was discovered in one of the end zones. There were no kickoffs. Rather, each team began at the 25-yard line, and the 10-yard line served as the goal line.
