Oakland Raiders get 2 TDs from Marshawn Lynch to beat Miami Dolphins<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Oakland Raiders get 2 TDs from Marshawn Lynch to beat Miami Dolphins:- Derek Carr’s best throw was his longest , a strike launched from midfield that hung in the balmy night air until Johnny Holton settled under it in the end zone for a 44-yard touchdown.<\/span><\/p>\n

That early score put the Oakland Raiders ahead to stay, and Carr remained on target to help beat the Miami Dolphins 27-24 on Sunday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Carr went 21 of 30 for 300 yards with one touchdown and one interception, and helped the Raiders convert 8 for 15 third downs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Oakland (4-5) won for only the second time since Week 2.<\/span><\/p>\n

“That’s what we needed,” Carr said. “Guys were on edge this week, a little chippy, including me.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The Dolphins recovered an onside kick and came up with a takeaway when Oakland fumbled twice on a single play, but failed to convert either opportunity into points.<\/span><\/p>\n

“That was a big deal stopping them there,” Raiders coach Jack Del Rio said. “An excellent job of putting the fire out.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Oakland also overcame 10 penalties for 105 yards, including three for unnecessary roughness in the second quarter.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Raiders’ Marshawn Lynch, returning from a one-game suspension for shoving an official, scored on a 22-yard run, his longest this year. He added another late score and finished with 57 yards on 14 carries.<\/span><\/p>\n

Miami (4-4) fell to .500 for the third time this season, and lost a close game for the first time in more than a year. In games decided by seven points or less, the Dolphins had won 12 in a row.<\/span><\/p>\n

Miami’s Jay Cutler, back after missing one game with cracked ribs, completed his first 16 passes and finished 34 for 42 for 311 yards and three scores. His touchdown pass with 1:32 left cut the deficit to three points, but Oakland recovered the ensuing onside kick to seal the win.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We’ve just got to look at the positives,” Cutler said. “We did some good things. We’re in a good position \u2014 4-4 with a lot of football left to play.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The Dolphins’ worst-in-the-NFL offense again struggled to run the ball in its first game since trading running back Jay Ajayi. Replacement Kenyan Drake had a 42-yard run \u2014 Miami’s longest this year \u2014 to set up a touchdown, but he also lost a fumble.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Dolphins totaled just 86 yards rushing and still don’t have a rushing touchdown this season. They were hurt by 11 penalties for 107 yards.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It seemed like we were going backward there a few times,” Cutler said.<\/span><\/p>\n

SURPRISE TARGET<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Raiders’ Johnny Holton outmaneuvered Reshad Jones in the end zone for a 44-yard touchdown reception. Holton’s celebratory dance was impressive, too \u2014 he clasped his hands between his knees and hopped along the sideline.<\/span><\/p>\n

His only other catch this season was for a 64-yard score.<\/span><\/p>\n

Carr’s favorite target was tight end Jared Cook, who had eight catches for 126 yards.<\/span><\/p>\n

BEAT THE CLOCK<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Carr moved the Raiders 42 yards in the final 26 seconds of the first half before Giorgio Tavecchio kicked a 53-yard field goal, the longest of his career, on the final play to put Oakland up 13-9 at halftime.<\/span><\/p>\n

MIXED BAG<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Dolphins’ Cody Parkey missed an extra point but recovered his own onside kick. Miami failed to take advantage, with Kenyan Drake losing a fumble at the 20. Parkey also made a tackle on a kickoff.<\/span><\/p>\n

HOT POTATO<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Oakland fumbled twice on one play. When Carr was hit by Ndamukong Suh and coughed up the ball, 330-pound tackle Marshall Newhouse scooped it up and took off. He also fumbled when hit, and Miami’s Charles Harris recovered.<\/span><\/p>\n

INJURIES<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Miami right tackle Ja’Wuan James went to the locker room midway through the fourth quarter with a left hamstring injury.<\/span><\/p>\n

UP NEXT<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Dolphins play their third prime time game in a row when they’re at Carolina (6-3) on Monday, Nov. 13.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Raiders travel to Mexico City to face AFC East leader New England (6-2) next Sunday.<\/span><\/p>\n
