Week 4: RAIDERS vs. Browns 2nd Half Open Thread


2nd half of the Raiders-Browns matchup. As usual, leave a comment below and share your thoughts on the game.

OT

CLE 42 OAK 45

It's over! Sweet redemption from the rookie kicker Matt McCrane after missing some costly field goals on the infield dirt. It was all about finishing the game. Three times, the Raiders didn't do that. Well, technically the last two games. This week, they did what they needed to do, finish the game. And it finally paid off. More to come in the full recap!

Q4

CLE 42 OAK 42

Just when we thought that last TD from Nick Chubb was over. The Raiders get a break with a controversial review. I thought Carlos Hyde had that first down and it was over. But, the football gods were on Oakland's side. And Carr mustered a 4th-quarter game tying drive with the pass to Cook and then Nelson with the clutch 2-pt conversion. This game's not over yet. Got 15 more minutes to pull out for the first win this season.

Q3

CLE 28 OAK 21

Weird quarter overall in terms of momentum. But, it looks like momentum is shifting towards the Raiders. The defensive unit it putting Cleveland's running game to a halt and it's definitely making Baker Mayfield and this Browns offense one-dimensional. Derek Carr, mistakes and all, he's hanging around and responding to his mistakes. He was able to hit Cook over the middle to put this game within a touchdown. Big run from Lynch to cap off that quarter and the Raiders are a TD away from tying the game.
