Watch: Davante Adams with 48-yard catch and run to give Raiders late lead over Colts

What started out as all Colts in the first quarter has turned into a back and forth affair in Las Vegas. The Raiders came back from down 10-0 to take a 14-13 lead in the third quarter. Then after falling behind 19-14, they did this in the fourth quarter.

The play put the Raiders up 20-19. They went for two and failed.

It was especially fortuitous considering the play before that, Derek Carr threw late deep for Adams and nearly had it intercepted.

It was the third Raiders touchdown of the game, each coming after a great play by the defense. That’s what we call complementary football, folks.

There was nothing complementary or complimentary to say about the Raiders team in the early going. The first quarter had Derek Carr going 0-for-five without a first down on three possessions. And even after getting on the board with a touchdown, the defense still let the Colts move into scoring position for a field goal just ahead of the half to take a 13-7 halftime lead.

Now the Raiders will try to hold onto their slim lead.
