This is not the kind of first half we’re used to seeing from the Raiders this season. Greg Olson has taken over the playcalling duties and the Raiders offense was rolling in the first half against a tough Broncos defense.
First the Raiders scored on their first two drives, starting with a touchdown and then a field goal. A missed 43-yard field goal attempt kept them from starting the game with three-straight scores.
They still carried a 10-7 lead into the final minute of the first half. And that’s when Derek Carr did this.
Meep meep.

First and ten from the 31-yard-line, Carr drops back and then drops a DIME in to Kenyan Drake for the touchdown.
The score put the Raiders up 17-7 at the half, just the second time this season the Raiders have led at the half. The other time was a 9-7 halftime lead over the Steelers in week two. They won that game, they will pull out of their two-game skid and start the Rich Bisaccia era off on the right foot.
