Associated Press  

TAMPA, Fla. — The surging Tampa Bay Buccaneers are back over.500, a fourth straight NFC South title within reach. Rachaad White scored on a 5-yard reception and a 3-yard run for the Bucs, who pulled away in the second half after the Raiders lost quarterback Aidan O’Connell to a knee injury that coach Antonio Pierce said “doesn’t look good.” O’Connell was carted off the field after being shoved to the ground by Bucs defensive lineman Calijah Kancey after throwing a pass late in the third quarter. McMillan’s second TD finished an 80-yard drive and put the game out of reach after Desmond Ridder led the Raiders to a field goal that got Las Vegas within 21-13 with three minutes remaining. But four plays later, Raiders linebacker Amari Burney sacked Mayfield, forcing a fumble that led to O’Connell’s 1-yard TD run that trimmed Tampa Bay’s early lead to 14-7. “I wish it could lead to more success for our team.” Injuries Raiders: O’Connell left the game with 1:23 remaining in the third quarter and was replaced by Ridder.
