LAS VEGAS -- As slow, clunky and ugly as the Las Vegas Raiders' offense was early Monday night, it was just as efficient late.

In front of a delirious Allegiant Stadium crowd of 61,756 -- and in the first regular-season NFL game played in front of fans in the city's history -- the Raiders came back from an early, two-touchdown deficit to pull out a 33-27 win in overtime on Monday Night Football.

Carr said the game was a microcosm of his eight-year NFL career with the Raiders: "Yes!

After a slow start, Carr finished with 435 yards passing and two TDs with the interception in completing 34 of 56 attempts, tied for the third-most passes in a game in his career.

"I hope this is a sign of things to come for us," said Carr, who has now won a franchise-best five openers for the Raiders, including three straight.

Gladys Knight performed the national anthem, rappers Ice Cube and Too $hort staged a halftime concert and, well, Monday Night Football delivered in Sin City.

"Las Vegas, I tip my hat; you showed up," said Carr, who said it was the loudest environment he could remember and thanked the fans for being quieter when the offense was on the field.
