The Las Vegas Raiders had yet another rollercoaster experience in Week 3, here are the studs and duds from the win over the Miami Dolphins.

The Las Vegas Raiders nearly gave their loyal fans several heart attacks as they overcame the battered Miami Dolphins in a rollercoaster of a game in Week 3. The Raiders went down by 14 points in the first quarter but stormed back to take a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter.

They would wind up giving up that double-digit lead as Miami forced the game to overtime but the Raiders were once again able to win in the extra period thanks to a combined effort on offense and defense. There were several moments where it seemed the Raiders would lose and some others where they could have turned the game into a blowout but none of those hypothetical scenarios came to fruition.

At the end of the day all that matters is that the Raiders improved to 3-0 for the first time in 20 years and since all wins count the same, the ends justify the wild means that lead to the victory.

Here are the studs and duds from that wild win that took years off the lives of Raider Nation.
