Watch: Raiders RB Alexander Mattison hurdles defender on incredible 31-yard touchdown

Not much was doing for the Raiders offense through much of the first quarter of their opener against the Chargers. They didn’t pick up a first down on their first two drives with a punt and a turnover on downs.


Three Zamir White runs in short yardage were stuffed for no gain or a loss.


Then the third drive, everything changed. Gardner Minshew found Davante Adams for 19 yards and then for another 11 yards. Then the early highlight of the game came from Alexander Mattison who took a short pass in the right flat and did this:

Mattison looked like he was going to be stopped for a short gain. Then he posterized CB Asante Samuel Jr, hurdling him and without breaking stride, streaked up the right sideline 31 yards for the score.
