The Las Vegas Raiders couldn't get back in the win column Sunday, falling 41-24 to the Cincinnati Bengals.
The game opened up with a bang with two sustainable drives from each offense. The Raiders found the end zone on their first drive for a second straight game, with Gardner Minshew II throwing 31 yards in the air and Alexander Mattison picking up 20 yards on the ground. Zamir White capped off the 11-play drive with his first touchdown rush this season.
On the following possession, Joe Burrow and his offense drove the ball downfield 70 yards in 13 plays. The Bengals quarterback connected with running back Chase Brown on a one-yard touchdown pass to end the drive.
As the Raiders offense struggled to get more points on the board throughout the contest, the Bengals didn't punt the ball until midway through the third quarter.
Cincinnati had the upper hand in time of possession by over 10 minutes and converted on more than half of their third down plays. Burrow finished the game with 251 passing yards and tied his career-high for most passing touchdowns in a game (five).
The Raiders tried to shift the momentum late in the game with a quarterback switch to Desmond Ridder and a Jack Jones interception returned 29 yards for a touchdown.
However, on back-to-back drives, a turnover on downs and a Trey Hendrickson strip sack on Ridder shut the door on any comeback attempt.
The Silver and Black now head into their second half of the season with a 2-7 record. Their bye week awaits with the chance to recover and reevaluate.
