People go to Las Vegas to find entertainment in all forms, but no one expected the game between the Las Vegas Raiders and Baltimore Ravens to end as dramatically as it did.

In their first regular-season game this season, the Raiders took down the Ravens in bold fashion. However, it took them a while to get things going.

Indeed, Las Vegas found themselves trailing the Ravens 0-14 pretty early on. In Vegas language, if one were to place a bet on the Raiders winning the game, they’d receive pretty darn good odds. However, in last night’s case, those people would’ve won big money.

By the fourth quarter, the score was 17-10 in favor of Baltimore, but the Raiders weren’t done fighting. After forcing a fumble, the Raiders were able to tie up the game 17-17. Soon enough, the teams were in overtime.

The Raiders were about to win in overtime until a touchdown was reversed, and they threw an interception instead. However, a Lamar Jackson fumble on Baltimore’s end ultimately led to a Zay Jones touchdown that gave Las Vegas the final 33-27 victory.

Needless to say, with all of the crazy shows in Las Vegas, none of them held a candle to the NFL blockbuster that took place at Allegiant Stadium on Monday night.
