The Raiders needed six plays from inside the 3-yard line, but they finally scored a touchdown early in the second quarter Saturday.

The touchdown came on a 1-yard pass from Derek Carr to Andre Holmes. The Colts came right back with an impressive drive and tied the game on a 24-yard Andrew Luck pass to Donte Moncrief to tie the game, 7-7.

A Nate Allen interception set up the Raiders’ scoring drive.

This is an important game for both teams. The Titans losing to the Jaguars opened the door for the Colts to stay alive in the AFC South race, while the Raiders probably need to win out to win the AFC West and a first-round playoff bye.
