ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) – The Las Vegas Raiders are back over .500 after surviving a wild finish against the Dallas Cowboys.  Daniel Carlson drilled a 29-yard kick with 4:28 showing on the clock in overtime to give the Raiders a 36-33 victory over the Cowboys. Carlson’s fifth and final field goal of the game was set up by cornerback Anthony Brown’s fourth penalty of the day, a pass interference call on 3rd-and-18.  Greg Zuerlein tied it for Dallas with a field goal in the final minute of regulation.  The Raiders racked up over 500 yards of total offense, with quarterback Derek Carr completing 24 of 39 passes for 365 yards and a TD. Josh Jacobs carried 22 times for 87 yards and a score for the 6-5 Raiders, who hadn’t scored more than 16 points while dropping their previous three games.
Dak Prescott engineered a pair of fourth-quarter TD drives and threw for 209 yards in the period. Prescott was 32 of 47 for 375 yards and two touchdowns.  Michael Gallup and Cedrick Wilson each had over 100 yards receiving, but Ezekiel Elliott carried just nine times for 25 yards and a score with Dallas trailing most of the game.  The Cowboys have dropped three of their last four since a six-game winning streak. All three losses have been against AFC West teams.
