Trickeration! In fourth and four from their own 36-yard-line, Antonio Pierce trotted out AJ Cole for the punt. Or did he. Cole took the snap and instead of punting it, he passed it to a wide open Divine Deablo for a 34-yard gain to the Denver 36-yard-line.
Here it is in all its glory.

The Raiders were ahead 7-6 over the Broncos and are pulling out all the stops to try and get back into the win column. And what better time to do that than in Las Vegas against a bitter rival.
Unfortunately the Raiders were unable to get a touchdown out of it, but they added a field goal to take a 10-6 lead with 3:48 left in the second quarter.
Special teams set up both the Raiders’ scores on the day. The first one after a Dylan Laube kick return to the Denver 40-yard line that they Raiders finished off for a touchdown.
