Raiders snap three-game losing streak with gritty win over Packers

Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo guided the Raiders to victory at Allegiant Stadium.

JIMMY GAROPPOLO THREW for one touchdown and 208 passing yards as the Las Vegas Raiders snapped their three-game losing streak with a gritty 17-13 defeat of the Green Bay Packers on Monday.

Quarterback Garoppolo led the Raiders on a 10-play, 75-yard drive that culminated in Josh Jacobs rushing over from two yards early in the fourth quarter to give Vegas a decisive game-winning score at Allegiant Stadium.

Green Bay quarterback Jordan Love meanwhile endured a torrid evening, finishing with three interceptions and being sacked twice.

Love’s game was summed up by his final play as Green Bay chased a winning score late in the fourth quarter.

A lofted deep pass intended for Packers receiver Christian Watson was picked off by Amik Robertson in the end zone to effectively end the contest.

The Raiders improved to 2-3 with the win to remain in third place in the AFC West.

Green Bay are 2-3 in the NFC North, trailing the Detroit Lions (4-1).
