The Raiders hoped to be the ones scoring the first touchdown in Allegiant Stadium, but it was not meant to be for Las Vegas’ NFL team.

That honor belonged to New Orleans when Alvin Kamara converted a third-and-goal with a 1-yard run run with 3:54 left in the first quarter to give the Saints a 10-0 lead.

The Raiders scored their first touchdown at Allegiant when Derek Carr completed a 3-yard pass to fullback Alec Ingold. That brought the Raiders to within 10-7 with 8:55 left in the second quarter.

Who had an @AI_XLV touchdown on their bingo card?
