Silver And Black Pride
The Las Vegas Raiders are hosting the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night. Here is everything to need to know about the game:
First quarter
The Raiders won the coin toss and deferred to the second half.
Dallas got the ball and went three and out. Las Vegas’ defense is good to start games. For some reason both Dallas’ standout wide receivers CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens were not on the field for the opening drive. Reportedly, it was a coach’s decision.
On the Raiders’ first drive, Geno Smith hit star tight end Brock Bowers for an 18-yard reception on the first play of the game. He wasn’t targeted for much of the game in Week 10 at Denver. The Raiders went on to punt.
Lamb and Pickens entered the game on the Cowboys’ second drive, which started at the Cowboys own 4-yard line after another great effort for Raiders’ punter A.J. Cole.
Wow, huge turnover. Maxx Crosby with the strip sack and Tonka Hemingway recovered. Raiders’ ball on Dallas’ 15. The Raiders had to settle for a 35-yard Daniel Carlson field goal.
Raiders’ defensive tackle Jonah Laulu suffered a ribs injury.
Dallas had some chunk plays and tied the game at 3-3 with a field goal with 5:36 to go in the quarter.
The Raiders are using the play action passes well as Smith hits rookie Jack Bech for and Bowers for big plays. Las Vegas got to the Dallas 17 then the drive stalled. They settle for another Carlson field goal to make it a 6-3 game.
The Raiders have had 13 offensive plays. They have run the ball once.
Second quarter:
The Cowboys went down the field and Prescott hit Lamb for an easy 18-yard touchdown as they took a 10-6 lead.
Smith was sacked for the third time. The Raiders’ offensive line struggling. Quinnen Williams has 1.5 sacks in his first game with Dallas.
The Raiders have gone 15 straight drives without a touchdown.
Lamb and Pickens are smoking the Raiders. A Prescott touchdown pass to tight end Jake Ferguson. Dallas up 17-6.
