NFL: Los Angeles Rams at Oakland Raiders
USATSI

Cleveland fought the good fight in their overtime match on Sunday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell just short of Oakland by a score of 42-45. If Cleveland were expecting to get some payback for the 20-27 loss against Oakland the last time they met, then they were left disappointed.

Cleveland's defeat came about despite a quality game from Nick Chubb, who rushed for 105 yards and 2 touchdowns. One of the most memorable plays of the game was Chubb's 63-yard touchdown rush in the second quarter. Baker Mayfield was in the mix, too, providing Cleveland with 2 touchdowns.

Derek Carr, who passed for 437 yards and 4 touchdowns, was a major factor in Oakland's success.

The defeat dropped Cleveland's record to 1-2-1. The victory bumped Oakland's record up to 1-3.

Next week Cleveland take on Baltimore at 1:00 p.m. As for Oakland, they will face off against the Chargers. Those two teams each escaped (but just barely !) with wins against their previous opponents.
