The Raiders earned themselves three top-10 plays this week as this game was clearly the most exciting show in Week 8. This was definitely the sweetest moment for Oakland fans, though. They watched a series leading up to overtime where wide receiver Amari Cooper whiffed on a long bomb that would have won it -- or at least set up an easy field goal -- and a wide left field goal miss that would have ended the game.
After trading the ball back-and-forth twice with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Raiders were winding down the last three minutes of overtime. A few short passes worked them down the field and into Tampa Bay territory. Carr lined up with five wide receivers arrayed around him, checked his matchups, and saw Seth Roberts coming on a medium slant route. Roberts caught the ball in stride, with his coverage man closing in from behind and the safety attacking from the front. Somehow, he bounced off of both tackles and stayed on his feet, only needing to win a footrace against the open field to win the game at the eleventh hour.
