The Las Vegas had to survive an onslaught, but in the end prevailed

The Las Vegas Raiders defeated the Green Bay Packers 17-13 in a hard-fought match on Monday night.

The Raiders did just enough to seal the victory as Jimmy Garoppolo completed 22 of 31 passes for 208 yards and a touchdown while throwing his NFL-high seventh interception.

Jakobi Meyers caught seven passes for 75 yards and a TD, while Davante Adams had four catches for 45 yards.

Neither team was particularly efficient in offense as the Raiders finished with 279 yards, while the Packers did so with 285.

“I thought our defense competed hard, enough for us to win the game,” Packers coach Matt LaFleur said. “We’ve got to find a way to score points because I think anytime you hold somebody to 17 points, it’s enough to win football games.”

Las Vegas was 10-3 up going into half-time and they could have even had a bigger lead after Spillane’s interception. But things changed in the second half as the Packers pressed hard and nearly turned things around.

In the end the Raiders were able to hold on to the lead and edge out their persistent opponent.
