The first-ever touchdown in Allegiant Stadium history was scored by Saints running back Alvin Kamara. But the first TD for the Raiders in their new home stadium was to one Alec Ingold.
With nine minutes left in the second quarter, in first and goal from the three-yard-line, Derek Carr dropped back and threw a quick pass to his fullback for the score.

And of course, the play was the infamous Spider 2 Y Banana for which Jon Gruden is known. You know he wanted to get that play in the trivia question.
It was three passes to Darren Waller on the drive that got the Raiders in first and goal. The Raiders were down 10-0 to the Saints and had done just about nothing prior to the drive, making the touchdown not just a big deal in the history books, but a big deal for the Raiders’ chances of staying within striking distance of the Saints.
