Raiders vs. Colts Live Game Thread

The Las Vegas Raiders are on the road today to take on the Indianapolis Colts, and we present this live game thread.

In this story:

The mantra of the Las Vegas Raiders (8-7) is simple, win (your remaining two games) and you are in the NFL Playoffs.  Today, they go on the road to take on the formidable Indianapolis Colts (9-6).

Remember the rule of five. If the Las Vegas Raiders win that key statistical battle, the game is over. For those who don't remember it, it has to do with sacks and turnovers. If the Raiders have three sacks and give -up two, that means they are plus one. If they then get four turnovers and give up only one, that means they are plus three. That would give them a plus-four for the day. They want to get to a plus-five ratio every game. Teams that reach the rule of five scenarios win 91 percent of their NFL games on average.

Colts get the ball to start the 2nd half. 

Gus Bradley went with a soft defense and let the Colts march right down the field.  That decision will certainly be second-guessed.  Along with a terrible penalty by Alex Leatherwood that probably cost the Raiders four points is a brutal way to end the half.

The Colts getting the ball to start the second-half means the Raiders defense needs a quick stop.  Can't let the Colts take command.

Scoring Update #6:  11:28 3Q T.Y. Hilton TD reception from Carson Wentz 45-yards, PAT good  6 plays, 75 yards

7:50 3Q after an unnecessary unforced error on a delay of game, Derek Carr throws an interception.  Colt with the ball and all of the momentum.

Scoring Update #7:  11:18 4Q Rich Bisaccia makes the right call in the red zone and goes for it on 4th down.  Hunter Renfrow with the touchdown reception from From Derek Carr, 11 Yrds, PAT good.  6 plays, 62 yards, 

Scoring Update #8: 1:56 4Q  Colts march down the field for the 41-yard FG to tie the game at 20.   

Scoring Update #9:  Game over. Derek Carr once again leads the Raiders down the field for another comeback win.   Daniel Carlson nails the game-winning 33-yard FG and the Raiders win 23-20.

The Raiders control their own playoff destiny next week at home.  If they beat the Los Angeles Chargers they are back in the NFL playoffs.
