Raiders shock the world, set the internet on fire with win over Ravens

The Las Vegas Raiders pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the weekend on Sunday afternoon, defeating the Baltimore Ravens , 26-23, to notch their first win of the 2024 campaign.

Head coach Antonio Pierce's squad rallied back from a two-score deficit in the second half and displayed immense resiliency. The last time the Raiders won a game in which they trailed by 10-plus points in the fourth quarter was in 2016.

Gardner Minshew and the passing attack came alive in the second half, as Minshew tossed 212 yards and a touchdown on 72% completion in the final 30 minutes of the game.

Wide receiver Davante Adams and rookie tight end Brock Bowers had monster days and showcased why they are two of the best players at their respective positions. Adams hauled in nine catches for 110 yards and a touchdown, while Bowers caught all nine of his targets for 98 yards.

Las Vegas' offense also received some assistance from Patrick Graham's defense, as the unit kept the Raiders in the game when the offense struggled in the first half and came up with some key defensive stops in the second half.

Maxx Crosby posted a Defensive Player of the Year-type performance on Sunday, totaling two sacks and four tackles for loss. The 27-year-old was unblockable for most of the afternoon and displayed why he's one of the best players in the NFL.

Along with Crosby, Robert Spillane had a great showing with ten total tackles, two tackles for loss, and a momentum-shifting interception off Lamar Jackson in the third quarter.

Las Vegas' come-from-behind victory on the road sent social media into a frenzy; here are the best reactions.

The Raiders tallied their first win of the season on Sunday in upset fashion and will head back home to take on the Carolina Panthers in Week 3.
