Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens couldn’t pull out a victory on MNF, but the crazy Raiders-Ravens game had LeBron James and other NBA stars losing it.

The Ravens looked like they were in control of the game after jumping out to an early 14-0 lead, but Derek Carr and Las Vegas would simply not go away, slowly, but surely, chipping away at the lead.
Some big plays got them into a position to kick the game-tying field goal to send the game to overtime, and Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson drilled the kick.
55 YARDS TO TIE IT.

In overtime, it looked like the Raiders had won the game after a deep shot by Carr to Bryan Edwards down the sideline. However, after reviewing the play, it was determined that Edwards hadn’t broken the plane, and so the Raiders still needed to punch it in.
Carr to Edwards BIG TIME. Down to the goal line!

Unfortuantely, Carr would throw a pass that would get tipped and then picked off, ending the Raiders’ chances of winning the game outright at that point.
THE RAVENS PICK IT IN THE END ZONE.
THIS GAME.

However, Lamar Jackson and the Ravens would cough the ball right back up again as Carl Nassib came unblocked to force a fumble which Las Vegas recovered. Shortly after, Carr would find Zay Jones for a deep touchdown.
NASSIB.
THE RAIDERS GET ANOTHER CHANCE.
