Raiders turn to running game with stars sidelined, hold off Browns
Published in Football
LAS VEGAS — The Raiders rushed for a season-high 152 yards, getting touchdown runs from wide receivers Tre Tucker and DJ Turner, and defeated the Cleveland Browns 20-16 on Sunday at Allegiant Stadium.
Playing without their two best players — Davante Adams (hamstring) and Maxx Crosby (ankle) — the Raiders rebounded from an ugly Week 3 loss to the Carolina Panthers to even their record at 2-2.
Trailing 20-16 late in the fourth quarter, the Browns drove to the Raiders’ 16-yard line, but Las Vegas stopped them on four plays.
Tucker scored the Raiders’ first touchdown on a 3-yard run with 9:55 left in the second quarter, cutting their deficit to 10-7.
Turner gave the Raiders a 20-10 lead on an 18-yard run with 5:30 left in the third quarter.
The Browns (1-3) cut their deficit to 20-16 when Rodney McLeod ran 25 yards for a touchdown after recovering a fumble by Zamir White on the first play of the fourth quarter.
