The Las Vegas Raiders offense does just enough to beat the Cleveland Browns

It wasn’t pretty, but the Las Vegas Raiders are now 2-2 after beating the Cleveland Browns 20-16 on their home court.

Coach Antonio Pierce and the Raiders gave their fans something to feel good about after getting this win despite coming up short.

Although the Raiders have struggled offensively this season and this game was not an offensive explosion by any means, the Raiders were able to make enough plays to win.

The Raiders were without star wide receiver Davante Adams in this game. If a play breaks down, Gardner Minshew II will often look Adams’ way, and Adams would make a big play and keep a drive alive.

Without that safety valve and superstar playmaker, the Raiders offense was expected to struggle to move the ball.

However, the Raiders kept up their offense at an impressive pace against a solid Browns defense.

Offensive coordinator Luke Getsy was more aggressive with his play calling in this game, which led to a better offensive outcome. Getsy hadn’t opened the playbook much in previous games, limiting the Silver and Black on the offensive side of the ball.

Minshew completed 14 of 24 passes for 130 yards. Although he didn’t throw a touchdown, he moved the ball efficiently, which the Raiders always expected of him. He also didn’t throw an interception, keeping the ball out of danger for much of the game.

The Raiders Run game looked the best all season. They had struggled mightily before this match, but they were able to sustain the drive thanks to their ability to play on the ground.

Las Vegas rushed for 152 yards and two touchdowns on 29 carries. That was good for 5.2 yards per carry, the best total the Raiders have had this year. Raider Nation certainly hopes that this can be the start of the Raiders Run game taking off.

Jakobi Meyers led the Raiders in receiving on the day with five catches for 49 yards. When the Raiders needed a big play through the air, Meyers made it happen.

Tre Tucker also had a productive day, catching five passes for 41 yards. With Adams out, the Raiders needed him and Meyers to make big plays. They delivered.

It wasn’t an offensive outburst, but the Robbers showed improvement on the offensive side of the ball. They’ll hope to continue that against the Denver Broncos as they look for a winning record.
