The Oakland Raiders and New Orleans Saints engaged in one of Sunday’s best games. So, when trailing by seven points, when the Raiders scored a touchdown, the game appeared headed for overtime.
Jack Del Rio and the Raiders had other ideas and went for two. Derek Carr found Michael Crabtree on a beautiful corner route to take the lead.
The two-pointer would eventually be the game-winner, but not without some more tense moments. Drew Brees got the Saints into position and rookie kicker Wil Lutz attempted a 61-yarder that would have won the game.
Lutz had plenty of leg, but put just a little too much hook on the ball. Oakland escaped New Orleans with a thrilling 35-34 win.
