The Atlanta Falcons escaped Las Vegas with a 15-9 victory Monday night and keep pace in the NFC South.
The Raiders had two passes into the end zone. Two passes to steal a victory.
Desmond Ridder’s first attempt was incomplete and his second was intercepted by Jessie Bates III.
Atlanta ended a four-game losing streak to remain a game behind the first-place Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Atlanta owns the head-to-head tiebreaker in a close race with three games remaining.
The Las Vegas Raiders (2-12) lost their 10th consecutive game, the NFL’s longest active skid, and are tied with the New York Giants for the league’s worst record. It is the fifth-longest skid in Raiders history, and worst since dropping 16 straight a decade ago.
Kirk Cousins passed for just 112 yards with an interception.
Bijan Robinson rushed for 125 yards and Drake London caught three passes for 53 yards to give him 219 career receptions. London passed Calvin Ridley’s 217 catches for most in Falcons history over a player’s first three seasons.
Atlanta picks off the Raiders’ last second Hail Mary attempt for the win.
