Arizona Cardinals pile on 22 straight points for late win over Las Vegas Raiders
Kyler Murray led the Arizona Cardinals to a famous victory at the Las Vegas Raiders as his side racked up 22 unanswered points to snatch the game 29-23 in overtime.
The home side were up by 20 points at the half courtesy of a pair of field goals by kicker Daniel Carlson and two touchdowns from quarterback Derek Carr, whose counterpart Murray then replied in the third quarter with a five-yard touchdown pass to Greg Dortch.
In the fourth, Murray ran in a two-point conversion after Arizona running back Darrel Williams scored from the one-yard line – before the signal-caller reloaded to rush for a touchdown, which he converted with a toss to wide receiver AJ Green for another two points to lock up the scores as time expired.

Las Vegas wide receiver Hunter Renfrow then fumbled the ball which was picked up by Cardinals cornerback Byron Murphy, who took it to the house for a 59-yard return and the win, prompting Murray to gleefully skip across the field and pump his throwing arm with joy.
Frustration got the better of Tampa Bay Buccaneer Tom Brady in New Orleans, with the quarterback throwing his electronic device in frustration during the third quarter against the Saints.
But the veteran took control, and his defence capitalised on three interceptions against New Orleans QB Jameis Winston, as Brady snapped a four-game regular-season losing streak against the Saints with a 20-10 result.
LOVE y'all, goodnight
