A blown coverage by the Texans allowed Raiders fullback Jamize Olawale to sneak out of the backfield and well into the clear for a 75-yard touchdown catch to tie the game at 20-20 with 10:44 left.

The Raiders had 120 yards all night before that play. Quarterback Derek Carr has struggled outside of one drive and threw an interception to start the second half.

The Texans had just kicked a field goal to go up by seven before the Olawale touchdown. They had taken the lead in the third quarter on a 1-yard touchdown run by Lamar Miller.

The rushing touchdown was Miller’s third of the season. Earlier in the game Texans rookie wide receiver Braxton Miller scored his first career touchdown.
