The Baltimore Ravens and Las Vegas Raiders played an insane “Monday Night Football” game in Vegas to cap Week 1 of the 2021 NFL season, with the Raiders winning 33-27 in overtime.
The game had one of the wildest finishes you will ever see in a football game. There was an entire game’s worth of twists and turns in just the final six-plus minutes of overtime game action
The Raiders got the ball first, drove, and thought they won the game on a touchdown pass, but a review said Bryan Edwards’ knee was down before he scored.

Not only did they have a win ripped away from them, but then on third-and-goal, they threw an interception off the defense’s helmet.
The Raiders ripped the ball right back on a strip-sack by Carl Nassib on Lamar Jackson. Then a few plays later, Derek Carr threw a game-winning touchdown pass to Zay Jones.
It was a game fitting for Las Vegas to welcome fans into the Raiders’ Allegiant Stadium. Raiders head coach John Gruden summed the ending of the game perfectly afterward.
