The San Francisco 49ers took down the Las Vegas Raiders 37-34 in a wild back and forth affair on New Year’s Day at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
In a game that featured several big plays from both teams it was the 49ers defense that made the deciding play. On the opening possession of overtime, Tashaun Gipson intercepted Raiders quarterback Jarrett Stidham and returned the ball down to the Raiders seven.
After missing a 41-yard field goal as time expired in regulation Robbie Gould connected on a short field goal to win the game.
With the victory and a loss by Minnesota in Green Bay, the 49ers moved into the second seed in the NFC playoff race.
