BALTIMORE - Davante Adams caught nine passes for 110 yards with a touchdown, Daniel Carlson made a 38-yard field goal with 27 seconds left and the Las Vegas Raiders rallied to beat the Baltimore Ravens 26-23 on Sunday. The Ravens are 0-2 for the first time since 2015 after a 27-20 loss to the two-time defending champion Kansas City Chiefs in the NFL opener Sept. 5.
Las Vegas (1-1) was focused on Derrick Henry, who barreled through the defensive line for a 29-yard gain on the first possession of the third quarter. That set up an 8-yard touchdown pass from Lamar Jackson to Zay Flowers to put the Ravens (1-1) ahead 16-6. Henry finished with 84 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries.
Jackson was 21 of 34 for 247 yards with a touchdown and an interception. The Raiders capitalized after Robert Spillane intercepted Jackson at the Baltimore 46-yard line with Las Vegas down 16-6 midway through the third quarter. Alexander Mattison capped the Raiders' ensuing 7-play drive with a 1-yard plunge with 2:36 left in the third.
Las Vegas managed 27 yards on 17 carries Sunday. Henry responded for the Ravens with a three-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter to give Baltimore some breathing room at 23-13. Carlson made a 25-yard field goal before the Raiders pulled even at 23 on Adams' 1-yard touchdown catch from Gardner Minshew with 3:54 left in the game.
The Ravens' next drive stalled, and a poor punt coupled with a penalty situated Las Vegas at the Baltimore 43-yard line with 2:21 to go.
