The Las Vegas Raiders entered their Monday Night Football home game against the Green Bay Packers on a three-game skid and badly needing to stop the bleeding.
Their defense accepted the challenge by brutalizing the Packers for three interceptions and two sacks en route to a 17-13 victory at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. Linebacker Robert Spillane recorded two interceptions and cornerback Amik Robertson came down with the clutch pick in the end zone to seal the Raiders' victory with 44 seconds left.
The Raiders' star defensive end Maxx Crosby also notched a sack and four tackles for a loss as the Packers struggled containing him in a game that had three lead changes.
Aside from their defense, Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo wisely went to star wideout Davante Adams three times in four snaps during the game's decisive 10-play, 75-yard drive, which was capped by running back Josh Jacobs punching in a 2-yard touchdown, which put Las Vegas up 17-13 early in the fourth quarter — a score which stood.
With the victory, the Raiders improved to 2-3 and the Packers fell to 2-3.
