Mandatory Credit: Tommy Gilligan-Imagn Images BALTIMORE - Davante Adams caught nine passes for 110 yards with a touchdown, Daniel Carlson made a 38-yard field goal with 27 seconds left and the Las Vegas Raiders rallied to beat the Baltimore Ravens 26-23 on Sunday.
The Ravens are 0-2 for the first time since 2015 after a 27-20 loss to the two-time defending champion Kansas City Chiefs in the NFL opener Sept. 5.
Las Vegas (1-1) was focused on Derrick Henry, who barreled through the defensive line for a 29-yard gain on the first possession of the third quarter. That set up an 8-yard touchdown pass from Lamar Jackson to Zay Flowers to put the Ravens (1-1) ahead 16-6.
Henry finished with 84 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries.
Jackson was 21 of 34 for 247 yards with a touchdown and an interception.
The Raiders capitalized after Robert Spillane intercepted Jackson at the Baltimore 46-yard line with Las Vegas down 16-6 midway through the third quarter. Alexander Mattison capped the Raiders' ensuing 7-play drive with a 1-yard plunge with 2:36 left in the third.
Las Vegas managed 27 yards on 17 carries Sunday.
Henry responded for the Ravens with a three-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter to give Baltimore some breathing room at 23-13.
Carlson made a 25-yard field goal before the Raiders pulled even at 23 on Adams' 1-yard touchdown catch from Gardner Minshew with 3:54 left in the game.
The Ravens' next drive stalled, and a poor punt coupled with a penalty situated Las Vegas at the Baltimore 43-yard line with 2:21 to go. Minshew drove the Raiders 23 yards on six plays to set up Carlson's go-ahead kick.
Minshew was 30 of 38 for 276 yards with a touchdown and interception. He was sacked five times.
Defensive end Maxx Crosby had both of Las Vegas' sacks and finished with four tackles for loss.
The game was delayed for about 10 minutes in the second quarter after a member of the NFL operations crew suffered a medical emergency. The staffer was "alert and responsive" as they were taken to a local hospital, according to the Ravens.
Baltimore outside linebacker Kyle Van Noy played despite suffering an orbital bone fracture 10 days ago against Kansas City. He managed two sacks.
Both teams continued to struggle to move the ball in the first half. Carlson and Justin Tucker combined for five field goals and the Ravens led 9-6 at the break.
The Raiders managed 43 yards with four first downs in the first half.
