Half-Time Report: Oakland Raiders lead Tennessee Titans by four points at Nissan Stadium

Raiders lead Titans by four points

The Oakland Raiders have taken a four-point lead into the break in their NFL clash against the Tennessee Titans.

The Titans were able to take the lead when Marcus Mariota drove his team downfield before he arced a pass to the endzone for Craig Stevens to catch for a 20-yard touchdown.

The Raiders blocked the resulting extra-point kick and returned the ball for a two-point score, only to see it chalked off for an illegal forward pass.

Oakland capitalised on the missed kick by taking a one-point lead on their next possession as Derek Carr led his team downfield, firing a deep strike to Seth Roberts before he found Michael Crabtree in the corner of the endzone.

The Raiders pressed further ahead when Carr delivered a strike to Amari Cooper to put his team within striking distance of the endzone, but the Titans made a stand to force Sebastian Janikowski into action and the kicker nailed his effort through the posts.
