Raiders vs. Washington score: Taylor Heinicke leads another game-winning drive, defeats Las Vegas on road

The Washington Football Team extended their win streak to four, as they defeated the Raiders in Las Vegas 17-15. It was a low-scoring affair that was lacking in big plays, but Taylor Heinicke overcame a fourth-quarter interception which ultimately gave the Raiders the lead, to guide his team to a game-winning drive of his own. 

Heinicke completed 23 of 30 passes for 196 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. He was inaccurate at times throwing the ball downfield, but kept plays alive with his feet and made plays when they mattered most. With just over two minutes remaining in the game down a single point, he led an eight-play, 44-yard drive, and new kicker Brian Johnson connected on a 48-yard field goal to steal back the lead. Derek Carr and the Raiders' offense had 31 seconds to try to get Vegas in field goal position, but they were unable to do so. 

Without J.D. McKissic, it was the Antonio Gibson show on the ground for Washington. He rushed 23 times for 88 yards and caught a touchdown. Logan Thomas played a huge role in this game, but suffered a knee injury in the second half. He caught three passes for 48 yards and one touchdown.

The Raiders really could have used Darren Waller in the passing game this Sunday, but he was inactive due to back and knee injuries suffered last week against the Dallas Cowboys. Carr threw for 249 yards while Josh Jacobs rushed for 52 yards and a touchdown. Not much was going for Vegas on offense this week, which was surprising since this unit dominated the Cowboys defense on Thanksgiving.
