Raiders vs. Browns final score, recap: Depleted Raiders pick up home win image

The Las Vegas Raiders picked up their second win of the 2024 campaign, defeating the Cleveland Browns by a score of 20-16. 

The Raiders' surge of 20 answered points during the second and third quarters catapulted the team to a hard-fought victory at home. The offense wasn't great but did enough to come away with the victory. On the other hand, the defense was incredible, pitching a shutout after Cleveland posted ten points in the first quarter. 

The Raiders' two touchdowns in this game were from wide receiver rushes, as Tre Tucker and DJ Turner found paydirt on the ground. Las Vegas rushed for 152 yards on 5.2 yards per carry, as Alexander Mattison tallied 60 yards on five carries.

The biggest loser of the day for the Raiders was Zamir White, who averaged 2.9 yards per carry and fumbled on the first play of the fourth quarter, which led to a scoop and score touchdown. His starting spot is in serious jeopardy. 

The defense made life difficult for Deshaun Watson, totaling three sacks and 11 quarterback hits, and Tre'von Moehrig snagged an interception. Patrick Graham's defense showed out without Maxx Crosby, carrying Las Vegas to a pivotal win over Cleveland.
