The Las Vegas Raiders' preseason finale on Friday night against the San Francisco 49ers had some exciting moments, and one of them came on a pass from rookie Carter Bradley to wide receiver Tyreik McAllister.
With the Raiders trailing 17-14 in the second half, Bradley took over for veteran Nathan Peterman, who got the start. The rookie, who showed some flashes in preseason Week 2, picked up where he left off in preseason Week 3.
Bradley led the Raiders on a six-play, 81-yard touchdown drive on his first series of the game. The drive was capped off twith a 35-yard touchdown strike to wide receiver Tyreik McAllister.
Both players made an impressive adjustment on the play, as Bradley threw it behind McAllister to avoid a Niners defensive back, and McAllister made a great adjustment to reel the catch in and take it to the house.

Bradley finished the drive 3-for-3 for 61 yards.
That was the second touchdown of the night for McAllister, who also had an 81-yard punt return in the first half.
The Raiders already have their top-two spots on the depth chart locked up with Gardner Minshew and Aidan O'Connell, but it remains to be seen if they'll keep a third quarterback. Bradley and Peterman are hoping to force them to.
