LAS VEGAS — Former Tennessee tight end Jason Witten scored his 73rd career NFL touchdown on Sunday, and it was his first as a member of a franchise other than the Dallas Cowboys.
Witten caught a three-yard pass from quarterback Derek Carr in the back of the end zone to bring Las Vegas within four points of the Buffalo Bills.

The Elizabethton, Tennessee native ranks third all-time in UT history for career receptions (68) and fourth in receiving yards (797). His career with Tennessee spanned from 2000-02 before being drafted by Dallas in the third round of the 2003 NFL draft.
Witten is likely a future Hall of Famer, and is making a mark with the Raiders. Sunday also saw Witten surpass 13,000 receiving yards in his career.
That TD puts Jason Witten at exactly 13,000 career yards.
What a career. pic.twitter.com/Txb904x48V
