The Raiders Amik Robertson bid the Packers “good night” intercepting a Jordan Love pass in the end zone with 1:12 left in the game and breaking their three game losing streak. The final was 17-13 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

The Packers took a 3-0 lead into the second quarter. Anders Carlson had made a first quarter 37 Yard field goal for the early lead.

The Raiders took the lead in the second quarter scoring twice. With four minutes left in the half Jakobi Meyers caught a nine yard pass from quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo taking a 7-3 lead. With a nice defensive effort, the Raiders got the ball back and were able to get to within field goal range with 2:32 left in the second quarter. Daniel Carlson made a 26 yard field goal giving Las Vegas a 10-3 lead after two quarters.

The Packers would tie up this game mid-way through the third quarter when A.J. Dillon rushed for five yards and the touchdown. It was a new ball game 10-10. At 5:16 Carlson kicked a 22 yards Field Goal taking back the lead for the Raiders 13-10.

Green Bay Quarterback Jordan Love went for broke throwing into the end zone with 1:12 left in the game.

Raider CB Amik Robertson put the finishing touches in this game intercepting that pass and that was the ball game 17-13. Coming into this game the Raiders only had one pick all season and tonight they intercepted three times.

Jimmy Garoppolo had one interception but he also threw for 208 yards and a touchdown. RB Josh Jacobs rushed for 69 yards and Meyers had 75 receiving yards. WR Davante Adams was only targeted four times and finished with 45 yards.

Raiders post game notes: Monday night the Las Vegas Raiders (2-3) were on the national stage taking on the Green Bay Packers (2-3). Last week the Raiders are coming off a loss to the Los Angeles Chargers 24-17. The Chargers scored two touchdowns in the second quarter of that game which made all the difference in the Las Vegas loss.

The Packers also lost last weekend in their matchup with the Detroit Lions 34-20. The Raiders have lost three games in a row and want to get back on the winning track especially since they are playing at Allegiant Stadium. Raiders fans have not had much to cheer about and Las Vegas would change all that Monday night.

Next Sun Oct 15th the Raiders will take on the New England Patriots playing a second game at Allegiant looking to even their season record. Kickoff is scheduled for at 1:05 PM.
