The Las Vegas Raiders-Cleveland Browns game Monday (rescheduled to then from Saturday thanks to COVID-19 positives from the Browns) wound up going down to the last few seconds, but the Raiders came out on top thanks to a 48-yard field goal from Daniel Carlson (#2, seen at left above celebrating). Here’s that kick:

Considering everyone out for the Browns here (including quarterbacks Baker Mayfield and Case Keenum, leading to Nick Mullens getting the start), it’s perhaps remarkable that this game was in their favor so late. But Mullens played well enough (20 completions on 30 attempts for 147 yards and a touchdown), and Cleveland also got big performances from Nick Chubb (91 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries) and Donovan Peoples-Jones (four catches for 48 yards). In the end, though, the Raiders came out on top, and this kick from Carlson sealed the deal.
