\nCLEVELAND (AP) \u2014 The whipping winds, snowy mix and winter-like weather didn\u2019t stop the Las Vegas Raiders. The Browns didn\u2019t offer much resistance either. Derek Carr t hrew a 4-yard touchdown pass to Hunter Renfrow early in the fourth quarter, Daniel Carlson kicked three field goals in nasty conditions along Lake Erie and the Raiders controlled the clock to beat the Cleveland 16-6 Sunday. \u201cThis week we made a big deal about the weather,\u201d Raiders coach Jon Gruden said. \u201cWe knew the weather was going to be really harsh. We kept talking about how we struggled playing on the road last year in bad weather against the Jets and the Chiefs. \u201cWe kind of enjoyed it. I think our guys look forward to the challenge of the weather more than anything.\u201d Carr\u2019s strike to Renfrow with 14:53 to go was the game\u2019s only TD and helped the Raiders (4-3) bounce back after they fell apart late in last week\u2019s 45-20 loss to Tampa Bay. The Browns (5-3) may have suffered a bigger loss as NFL sacks leader Myles Garrett injured his knee in the first quarter. He\u2019ll undergo an MRI on Monday. \u201cIt\u2019s part of the game,\u201d Garrett said. \u201cI took a shot on one of the first plays. After that, it was tough.\u201d Using running back Josh Jacobs and a short passing game, Carr controlled the clock in the second half and kept the ball away from the Browns (5-3). On the Raiders\u2019 first two drives after halftime, the first leading to their go-ahead TD and the other to Carlson\u2019s 24-yard field goal with 4:24 left, they ate up 17:41. Oakland had the ball for 37:43 to 22:17 for Cleveland. Jacobs finished with a career-high 128 yards \u2014 80 in the second half \u2014 on 31 carries. Last week, he had just 17 yards on 10 attempts. The Raiders had allowed 10-plus points in an NFL-record 116 straight games. Baker Mayfield couldn\u2019t get anything going with Cleveland\u2019s offense, which was without star receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who suffered a season-ending knee injury last week. Mayfield, who completed 21 passes in a row in the win over Cincinnati a week ago, went 12 of 25 for 122 yards. Mayfield\u2019s last throw toward Jarvis Landry in the end zone was incomplete with 1:58 left, and Cody Parkey missed a 37-yard field goal to end Cleveland\u2019s chances. Parkey did make kicks of 41 and 38 yards. The weather was brutal. The wind, measured from the west at 35 mph at kickoff, made it difficult for both quarterbacks to throw; affected every punt and kick; and forced the 12,000 fans to bundle up as it felt more like a game in late December \u2014 or in Cleveland, early May. Carr did an excellent job managing the clock in the final minute of the first half to set up Carlson\u2019s 33-yard field goal as time expired to put the Raiders up 6-3. The Raiders appeared to take the lead earlier in the second quarter when Carr connected with Henry Ruggs III in the back right corner of the end zone from 11 yards. However, Ruggs was ruled out of bounds and the call was upheld \u2014 it was difficult to tell if his second foot was in \u2014 following a video review and Raiders challenge. Las Vegas settled for Carlson\u2019s 29-yard field goal to tie it 3-3. Earlier, Carlson had a 41-yard attempt at the opposite end of the field blown sideways and the ball clanged off the left upright. Cleveland\u2019s only scoring in the first half came on Parkey\u2019s 41-yard field, a kick that danced like a knuckleball in the wind before curving inside the uprights. GARRETT SLOWED Garrett was limited by an ankle injury that kept him out of practice this week, and now he\u2019s dealing with a knee issue. At one point, Garrett was evaluated in the medical tent but came back. He was kept out on several plays, and lacked his usual explosiveness off the line. \u201cWe haven\u2019t made excuses and we\u2019re not going to start now. It\u2019s a next-man-up league,\u201d Garrett said. \u201cThey took advantage of some of the guys we were without. They had a game plan and they executed it.\u201d INJURIES Raiders: Defensive tackle Maurice Hurst was carted off in the second quarter with an ankle injury and did not return.\u2026 Safety Jeff Heath\u2019s day ended in the first half with a hip injury.\u2026 Right tackle Trent Brown, who recently tested positive for COVID-19, was inactive after he woke up not feeling well. The team said his illness was not related to coronavirus. Browns: DT Vincent Taylor left in the fourth quarter to be checked for a concussion.
