NFL top moments: Raiders survive Ravens in wild OT finish on Monday Night

Updated Sep. 14, 2021 12:36 a.m. ET

The Baltimore Ravens traveled to Allegiant Stadium to take on the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday night, closing out Week 1 in what evolved into a wild overtime finish.

The Raiders came out victorious, 33-27 in overtime, with the teams combining to score 33 points in the fourth quarter and overtime, while also forcing multiple turnovers.

In a game that felt as if the Raiders had it won, and then lost, all before winning it again, this was a memorable first Monday Night Football game of the season.

Here are the top moments from Monday night.

In an unusual but entertaining twist, Peyton Manning and Eli Manning are broadcasting the game. And they appeared to be having a great time.

Early in the first quarter, Lamar Jackson showed why he is electric with his feet, scrambling and leaving the Raiders defense in his tracks.

Jackson's fancy footwork also caught the eye of one LeBron James, in more ways than one.

On the Ravens' second drive, Ty'Son Williams introduced himself to the Raiders defense and the NFL in a major way with a 35-yard touchdown run.

This is Williams' first career NFL action after spending last season on the practice squad.

There is simply no defending Lamar Jackson, as evidenced by him evading the pass rush to find Marquise Brown for this 10-yard touchdown pass.

After falling behind 14-0, the Raiders finally were able to respond thanks to a Josh Jacobs touchdown run.

The Raiders defense sent a message early in the fourth quarter, forcing a Lamar Jackson fumble.

That fumble recovery would lead to Josh Jacobs' second touchdown of the night to tie the game at 17-17.

The Ravens immediately responded, with a touchdown from Latavius Murray who was just signed on Friday.

All of a sudden after a third-quarter where there wasn't a touchdown scored, both offenses came to life in the fourth.

The Raiders were once again able to tie the game, this time thanks to the connection between Derek Carr and Darren Waller.

That still left the Ravens with time to score and take the lead, which is what they were able to do thanks to the magic of Lamar Jackson.

Jackson's 28-yard scramble pushed the Ravens into field goal range, with Justin Tucker making a field goal to put the Ravens ahead 27-24.

But the Raiders were able to once again answer back, getting into field goal range with seven seconds remaining and tying the score on a 55-yard field goal from Daniel Carlson.

In a cruel twist of fate, the Raiders believed they had the game won with a touchdown in overtime, but receiver Bryan Edwards was ruled down before the goal line.

That led to a Ravens interception in the end zone.

The Raiders defense returned the favor, forcing Lamar Jackson's second fumble to get their offense back on the field for a game-winning touchdown.

The Raiders' 33-27 win gets them off to a 1-0 start for the season.
