CBSN
Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Carl Nassib made history during the team's opener against the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night, becoming the first openly gay NFL player to suit up in a regular season game. Not only did he play, he starred — making a pivotal strip sack to help the Raiders beat the Ravens, 33-27, in an overtime thriller.
With the game tied at 27 in extra time, Nassib stripped the ball away from Ravens star quarterback Lamar Jackson in the waning minutes of the period. The play then set up the Raiders' offense to score the game-winning touchdown after a come-from-behind effort by the team, who were playing their first game in Allegiant Stadium with fans.
Following the game, Nassib, who finished with three total tackles, told reporters the victory was a "great team win."
