Michael Crabtree scored a wonderful 38-yard touchdown with 1:21 left on the clock to tie the game with a successful PAT.

The Oakland Raiders and Pittsburgh Steelers had a wild game on Sunday afternoon at Heinz Field. Derek Carr is proving to many that he is the best young quarterback in the league, showcased by this last-minute touchdown throw to Michael Crabtree. Unfortunately for Oakland, it lost ona  last-second 18-yard field goal.

The Raiders and Steelers are in the race for an AFC wild card spot, and this Week 9 matchup might be key to deciding who makes the postseason come January.

Derek Carr drove his Raiders down the field, and with 1:21 to play, after a huge 3rd and 10 conversion to Crabtree, Carr looks to his second receiver once again to seal the game-tying touchdown after a successful PAT from Janikowski. Carr and this Raiders offense are really starting roll, even though they ended up losing.

Oakland is proving that it is no longer one of the worst teams in the league. The Raiders have been so bad for so long that few can take them seriously, but the franchise is finally beginning to turn it around. With Carr, Crabtree and Amari Cooper, the Raiders have actual talent at the skill positions. It’s been a long time coming for those on the Bay Area.
