After missing a game due to a suspension, Marshawn Lynch helped lead the Oakland Raiders back into the win column.

Lynch carried the ball 14 times for 57 times and two touchdowns, including a season-long 22-yard run and the Raiders defeated the Miami Dolphins 27-24 at Hard Rock Stadium.

The veteran also added a late touchdown to give the Raiders their final points of the game, but the Dolphins would not go down with a fight, as they scored with 1:32 remaining and were able to successfully make the two-point conversion; however, the Raiders sealed the game, as they recovered the onside kick.

This was just the second Raiders victory since they started the season 2-0, and move within one game of the .500 mark.

Derek Carr went 21-for-30 for 300 yards passing with a touchdown and an interception. Carr helped the Raiders go eight for 15 on third down, as the Raiders went 1-1 on their road trip thru Buffalo and Miami.

Carr’s lone touchdown pass was to Johnny Holton for 44 yards. It was the only catch of the evening for Holton.

Jared Cook led the Raiders with eight catches for 126 yards, while Amari Cooper caught four passes for 58 yards and Michael Crabtree caught three passes for 40 yards.

DeAndre Washington carried the ball four times for 16 yards, while Jalen Richard carried the ball five times for 14 yards.

Jay Cutler made his return to the field after missing a game with cracked ribs, and went 34-for-42 for 311 yards passing and three touchdowns passes.

Julius Thomas caught six passes for 84 yards and a touchdown, while Kenyan Drake led the Dolphins on the ground with nine carries for 69 yards.

NOTES: After their annual bye week, the Raiders return to the field on November 19, as they host the defending World Champion New England Patriots at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City.

This is the second year in a row that the Raiders will host a game in the capital of Mexico, as they defeated the Houston Texans 27-20 last season on Monday Night Football.
