OAKLAND, Calif. _ The Raiders broke up a Matt Stafford pass in the end zone with three seconds to go Sunday to preserve a 31-24 win over the Detroit Lions at the Coliseum.
Quarterback Derek Carr led a 75-yard scoring drive for the winning points, a drive that included passes of 31 and 23 yards to running back Jalen Richard. He finished the drive by buying time, rolling to his left, and firing a 9-yard strike to Hunter Renfrow for a touchdown with 2:04 to play.
The Raiders hit the midway point of the season with a 4-4 record _ better than most anticipated when they departed for their five-game road trip. Detroit fell to 3-4-1, with the Raiders defense tightening up just enough for a close win.
