Raiders coach Jon Gruden went deep into his bag of tricks Sunday at the Coliseum.
Oakland faced fourth-and-3 from their own 38-yard line early in the third quarter. The Raiders lined up to punt, but Dallin Leavitt took the ensuing direct snap and handed off to tight end Derek Carrier for a 27-yard gain.

The rush was the second of Carrier's career and his first since Oct. 19, 2014, when he rushed two yards for a first down late in the 49ers' blowout loss to the Denver Broncos. It also was the 29-year-old's longest play from scrimmage in his eight-year NFL career.

Carrier's conversion ended much better for the Raiders than their fourth-down attempt in the first quarter, which ended in a turnover on downs following quarterback Derek Carr's incomplete pass to Hunter Renfrow. Oakland's continuing drive after the fake punt didn't end in points, either, as Daniel Carlson missed a 45-yard field goal.
