Daniel Carlson notched five field goals in the Raiders' game against the Cowboys on Thursday. But no kick was more important than the 29-yarder he booted in overtime—after three consecutive penalties—to lift Las Vegas to a 36–33 victory at AT&T Stadium.
The Raiders (6–5) entered Thursday's game having dropped their last three games and had failed to put more than 16 points in each.
After the Cowboys tied the game at 30 with a touchdown pass from Dak Prescott—who finished with 375 yards passing and two touchdowns—and a successful Dallas two-point conversion, Carlson notched a 56-yard field goal to give Las Vegas the 33–30 advantage with 1:56 to play in regulation.
