Although the Ravens took a 14 point lead early on in the game. Yet it was Raiders’ 17 points in the fourth quarter that snatched the lead out of Baltimore Ravens’ grasp.

Incidentally, the Allegiant Stadium lit up with thunderous cheers of the home fans. As Derek Carr found Zay Jones wide open and hurled a 31 yard touchdown pass over to him during the over time. A match this tight and competitive is rarely seen. Although the 2021 season is somewhat special to have started this way.
As the Raiders celebrate their hard earned victory over the Ravens, the Steelers look forward to their second straight win against the Raiders next week. Can the Raiders pull off such a victory once again?
