The Raiders scored on their final four possessions and won the game as Baltimore’s defense could not make a stop at the crucial moment.

Meanwhile, the Ravens came up empty on their final two offensive attempts as the Raiders held two-time MVP Lamar Jackson (21 of 45, 247 yards, one touchdown) and the Ravens’ playmakers in check down the stretch.

Baltimore’s special teams also made mistakes. Justin Tucker missed a 56-yard field goal, making it just one of seven 50-yard-plus field goals since the start of last season. As the Ravens faltered on their final drive, Jordan Stout’s disappointing 24-yard punt and a 5-yard penalty against Baltimore brought the Raiders to the Ravens’ 48-yard line, where they had just one short drive to get Daniel Carlson to score his game-winning goal.

The Ravens need to play better in all three phases, and their defense would love to attack again in the fourth quarter. Gardner Minshew II (30 of 38, 276 yards, one touchdown) was unstoppable, although he dismantled Baltimore despite five sacks.

Somehow, playing in Baltimore brings out the best in Minshew. After beating the Ravens at M&T last year with the Colts, Minshew pulled off another surprise when he and Adams took over the game and played pitch-and-catch against the Ravens’ secondary, with Adams playing like the All-Pro receiver he is.

“Believe me, this is worse for us than anybody else and I know we’re going to put our heads down and move on and correct our mistakes because there’s no way we should be 0-2, but it is what it is,” said All-Pro linebacker Roquan Smith.
