In a matchup of two teams struggling mightily this season, the Oakland Raiders came away with a narrow victory in the desert in Week 11.

The Oakland Raiders went into the desert looking for their second win of the season, and came away with a 23-21 victory in the last seconds. The Raiders had control of the ball all game long, and while they blew their lead in the second half, they finally got it done in crunch time.

This Raiders team has been mired by second half collapses all season long, but their third kicker of the season gave them their first comeback victory in 2018. Daniel Carlson booted a 35-yard field goal with 0:02 seconds left in the game to lift the Raiders to the victory, and now the team no longer holds the first overall selection next April.

In a season that has been riddled with disappointment, this Raiders team actually stepped up against the Cardinals. The offense was without guys like Jordy Nelson and Martavis Bryant, but found enough firepower to get it done, and now no longer are the only team in the NFL with only one win this season.

Here are the highlights from Sunday’s action.
