Follow-up:

Well, got sleepy in the 3rd quarter last night, so
didn't watch the rest of the Raiders vs Ravens
game 'til just now, an exciting game, the first
game before a crowd full of fans at the new
Raiders Allegiant Stadium, wow, what a game!

The Ravens led most of the game, the Raiders
came back to tie it, the Ravens went ahead, the
Raiders came back to tie it, then, in overtime, on
the 1st possession, the Raiders looked like they
won it on a deep pass but replay showed the re-
ceiver down at the half yard line, then 2 plays ...

.... later Derek Carr thru a pass far too fast at
the edge of the receiver's reach, thru his hands,
intercepted by the Ravens. The Ravens 1st drive
in OT, QB Lamar Jackson sacked & lost a fumble
for the 2nd time in the game. Shortly thereafter,
Carr to a wide open Zay Jones for the winning
TD, final score Raiders 33, Ravens 27.
