Raiders rookie Hunter Renfrow picked a good time for the first touchdown streak of his NFL career.
Derek Carr threw a 9-yard TD pass to Renfrow with 2:04 remaining in the fourth quarter at the Coliseum on Sunday, giving the Silver and Black a 31-24 win over the Detroit Lions. The Lions forced Carr out of the pocket, and Carr rolled to his left, throwing a dart to a toe-tapping Renfrow at the near side of the end zone.

Renfrow scored his first NFL touchdown in last week's loss to the Houston Texans, and his second brought the Raiders back to .500 after losing two straight. The 23-year-old also caught a career-high six passes on Sunday, and his 54 receiving yards were the second-most he has had in a game this season.

The Raiders defense held up their end of the bargain following Renfrow's reception -- albeit barely. The Lions drove down to the Raiders' 1-yard line for fourth-and-goal with eight seconds remaining. Oakland, surprisingly, called timeout just before Detroit's final play from scrimmage, but the Silver and Black's defense held firm after the stoppage.

Renfrow will have some competition for the game ball, it seems.
