OAKLAND
Nick Chubb Jersey , Calif. (AP) — As much as the Oakland Raiders felt like they might have let a couple of winnable games slip away to start this season, they might have stolen one away from the Cleveland Browns to spoil Baker Mayfield’s first career start.Derek Carr led a game-tying drive in the final seconds of regulation after a replay review took away a Cleveland first down and the Raiders got their first win since Jon Gruden’s return to the sideline by beating the Browns 45-42 on Matt McCrane’s 29-yard field goal in overtime Sunday.The Raiders (1-3) blew second-half leads in each of the first three games and didn’t trail any of them for a single second in the first three quarters before erasing deficits of 14 points and eight points to beat the Browns (1-2-1) and give Gruden his first win since 2008.“We haven’t fixed anything yet,” Gruden said. “We have a lot of things we have to get better at. I think it is pretty obvious. We played some good football for stints.”The Raiders rode a roller-coaster in this game, falling behind 28-14 in the third quarter before rallying for a 34-28 lead in the fourth, thanks in part to two fumbles by Mayfield.But the Browns answered with two more TDs and the Raiders appeared done when Carr threw two straight incompletions from the 9 to turn the ball over on downs with less than two minutes to play.Carlos Hyde ran three times and appeared to have a first down that would have run out the clock only to have it overturned when officials ruled his elbow touched the ground short of the marker.“I definitely thought that we had the first down,” Hyde said. “But they changed the call. We got to get it right there. If we’re going to win the game, we got to get that one.”The Raiders took over at their 47 with 1:28 to go and Carr led a game-tying drive reminiscent of 2016, when he had seven fourth-quarter comebacks. After failing to deliver late in the first three games this season, Carr threw a 7-yard TD to Jared Cook with 30 seconds left and then added the game-tying 2-point conversion to Jordy Nelson.Carr finished with 437 yards passing and four TDs.“The start of this year and half of this game has been some of the hardest stuff I’ve ever had to deal with, because it’s frustrating things,” Carr said. “I feel the best — physically, mentally, all of those things that I ever have. But then I screw something up somewhere along the way. I’ll tell you this though, one thing I just said and looked to our guys and said fight.”Here are some other takeaways:BAKER’S DAYMayfield threw for 295 yards and two TDs in his first career start but also had two interceptions and lost two fumbles. Those turnovers helped prevent him from becoming the third Browns QB out of 30 to win his first start with the team since the franchise returned in 1999.“He’s going to learn

Today, as he goes through it, he’ll understand, and we’ve talked about it a little bit, just how important those things are. You got to be team-protecting in certain situations, but you don’t want to rein him in, because I like the things he’s doing.”BEAST MODEAs the Raiders struggled to move the ball early in the game, Marshawn Lynch let his teammates know it on the sideline. He then responded with his biggest game in years, running for 130 yards in his most productive game since 2014 and inspiring his teammates by running through several tackles.“He was saying basically that we’re putting the game on our backs,” left tackle Kolton Miller said. “They’re running behind us, it starts with us, he gave us really encouraging words. He said ‘I’m going to run with y’all’ and that really boosted us.”CHUBBS RUNSBrowns rookie Nick Chubb scored on runs of 63 and 41 yards, while carrying only three times all day. His 63-yard TD run was the longest by a Browns rookie since Lee Suggs had a 78-yard score on Dec. 28, 2003

Chubb is also the first Browns rookie RB to surpass the 100-yard mark since Terrence West on Sept. 7, 2014.MCCRANE’S DAYThe Raiders were forced to turn to their third kicker this week when Mike Nugent was placed on IR with a hip injury after taking over for the previously injured Eddy Pineiro. They turned to rookie McCrane, who was initially signed this spring by Arizona as an undrafted free agent after setting the Kansas State record for career FGs. McCrane missed his first field goal from 47 yards and then a 50-yarder on the opening possession of OT before connecting on the game-winner. On Tuesday, the prosecution began introducing its case-in-chief against former NFL player Kellen Winslow II. The prosecution may want a do-over.The witnesses included Jane Doe No. 1, the first of five women alleging that Winslow committed sexual offenses against her. Jane Doe No. 1 accuses Winslow of rape.She says that she was hitchhiking on March 17, 2018, and that a person who called himself “Dominique” gave her a ride. His demeanor soon turned, and he told her that if she did not have sex with him, he would kill her.The details were graphic and at times confusing, as the duo left his car, climbed a fence in search of a place to engage in sexual activity, climbed back over the fence, and then returned to his car. The testimony, which featured via the live stream at CourtTV.com only the voice of the alleged victim
Britton Colquitt Jersey , lacked the kind of raw emotion that would be expected from a person who had been forced (supposedly under threat of death) to engage in various forms of painful sexual activity with Winslow.Then came the cross-examination, and attorney Marc Carlos in a calm but forceful way called the bulk of her allegations into question. Dan Wetzel of Yahoo.com has the details. Jane Doe No. 1 repeatedly admitted that she had easy opportunities to easily get away from her assailant and/or to seek help from others, but she never tried. She also was caught in various inconsistencies between past statements given to authorities and her in-court testimony, and she apparently lied about her history of alcohol consumption, opening the door to Carlos to challenge her claim that she hasn’t had a drink in three decades by proving that she has been arrested ELEVEN TIMES for public intoxication. (The presiding judge, per Wetzel, allowed only five of the arrests to be used before the jury.)“You told the jury you haven’t drank in 30 years,” Carlos said at one point. “That is a lie.”“I haven’t drank today,” she replied.Winslow’s defense apparently won’t be contending that no sexual activity occurred, since his DNA was found on Jane Doe No. 1 when she reported the incident four days later. However, the notion that the sex was not consensual will be difficult for the prosecution to prove based on the deeply flawed testimony of Jane Doe No. 1.As Wetzel notes, this doesn’t mean that Winslow will be acquitted. Four other victims will be testifying. But the first impression created by the prosecution was not a good one, to say the least.
