Las Vegas has now experienced a typical cold November day in Cleveland.
In wind, rain, sleet and snow, the Raiders defense held the Cleveland Browns to just 223 total yards as Las Vegas escaped with a 16-6 win in Cleveland.
“We will take any win that we can get,” said head coach Jon Gruden.
Raiders’ kicker Daniel Carlson nailed three field goals from 29, 33 and 24 yards despite the bad weather.
“Probably the windiest game that I have ever played in,” said Carlson. “I had some good operation, good holds, good protection and got some points on the board the rest of the game.”
“Credit to Carlson for being able to kick the ball and make some field goals,” said Gruden. “It was a real obstacle for the kickers.”
The lone Raiders touchdown came on a four yard pass from quarterback Derek Carr to wide receiver Hunter Renfrow.
“I thought that I got my hands underneath it,” said Renfrow. “It turned a little bit at the end, but it was a touchdown and it was good times.”
Carr finished the game going 15 for 24 for 112 yards and one touchdown.
“Whenever you are able to do it the way we did it, everyone has to deal with the conditions, but a team that comes from Las Vegas, the desert, and gets a win, that’s a good feeling especially on the road,” said Carr.
Running back Josh Jacobs led the Raiders on the ground rushing 31 times for 128 yards.
With the win, the Raiders improved to 4-3 heading into their next game on Sunday in Los Angeles against the Chargers.
Game Notes:
- The Raiders outgained the Browns in total yards, 309-223.
- Tight end Darren Waller led the Raiders with only 28 yards receiving.
- Nine different Raiders players caught at least one ball from QB Derek Carr.
- The Raiders have now won two of their last three games.
