Raiders get scoop and score off Melvin Gordon fumble
Melvin Gordon #MelvinGordon
The Las Vegas Raiders had not scored a defensive touchdown since 2019.
Melvin Gordon to the rescue.
The Denver Broncos’ running back committed his fourth fumble of the season in the second quarter on Sunday and it became a scoop and score for Amik Robertson, who returned it 68 yards.
Gordon has had issues holding on to the football and this fumble came on his first touch against the Broncos in this game.
The score gave the Raiders a 16-10 lead after the Daniel Carlson PAT was no good.
The last Raiders defensive TD came on a pick-six against Philip Rivers in Week 10 of the 2019 season. Erik Harris returned a pass 56 yards for a TD against the Bolts that season.
