OAKLAND, Calif. -- Quarterback Derek Carr threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Seth Roberts with 26 seconds left to play, lifting the Oakland Raiders to a 37-33 victory against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday at the O.co Coliseum.

The Raiders (1-1) marched 80 yards on nine plays in 1:44 for their game-winning touchdown, giving new coach Jack Del Rio his first victory with Oakland.

Carr, who left last week's game against Cincinnati with an injury to his right thumb, threw for a career-high 351 yards and three touchdowns with one interception. He completed 30 of 46 passes.

Raiders rookie wide receiver Amari Cooper had seven catches for 109 yards and his first NFL touchdown. Wide receiver Michael Crabtree caught nine passes for 111 yards and a TD.

Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco completed 32 of 45 passes for 384 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Ravens wide receiver Steve Smith Sr. caught 10 passes for 150 yards, and tight end Crockett Gillmore had five catches for 89 yards and two touchdowns.

The Ravens took a 33-30 lead with 2:10 left on Justin Tucker's 31-yard field goal.

Carr quickly marched the Raiders to midfield, and a roughing-the-passer penalty on defensive tackle Timmy Jernigan gave them a first down at Baltimore's 35.

Ravens strong safety Will Hill III intercepted Carr's pass on second-and-10 from the 17, but he was flagged for holding, negating the pick.

One play later, Carr hit a wide-open Roberts in the end zone.

The Ravens' defense played without outside linebacker Terrell Suggs, who sustained a season-ending Achilles injury against Denver. Elvis Dumervil replaced Suggs, who has a franchise-record 106 1/2 sacks, in the starting lineup.

The Raiders broke a 20-20 halftime tie on Sebastian Janikowski's 48-yard field goal with 8:44 left in the third quarter. Then, after forcing a punt, they marched 84 yards on nine plays for a touchdown, Carr hitting Crabtree for 29 yards for the score.

The Raiders fooled the Ravens on back-to-back plays, capping that TD drive. On first-and-10 from the Oakland 47, Carr faked a handoff to running back Latavius Murray, kept the ball, rolled left and raced 24 yards untouched to the Baltimore 29.

One play later, Carr rolled left and threw back all the way to his right, hitting a wide-open Crabtree for a score.

Flacco hit wide receiver Kamar Aiken for 38 yards on the drive, giving Baltimore a first down at Oakland's 48. From there, the Ravens slowly worked their way toward the tying score, taking what Oakland gave them.

The Ravens quickly got the ball back when Hill intercepted an underthrown Carr pass and returned it 25 yards to the Raiders' 37.

The Raiders had grabbed a quick 10-0 lead in the first quarter. Carr hit Cooper on a 68-yard scoring strike with 12:49 left in the opening quarter. The Raiders rookie beat cornerback Jimmy Smith's man coverage down the left sideline, caught Carr's pass at the Ravens 40 and sprinted into the end zone.

On Baltimore's first play from scrimmage, Aiken caught a 6-yard pass, but cornerback TJ Carrie stripped the ball, and linebacker Curtis Lofton recovered at the 29. That set up Janikowski's 23-yard field goal with 11:44 still left in the opening quarter.

Baltimore cut Oakland's lead to 10-3 on Tucker's 22-yard field goal with 7:41 left in the first quarter. The Ravens pulled even on the final play of the quarter when Flacco, who threw for 231 yards in the first half, hit a wide-open Gillmore over the middle for a 26-yard score.

Oakland answered with an 80-yard touchdown drive capped by Murray's 1-yard blast with 12:52 left in the half. Carr, who threw for 228 yards in the first half, hit Crabtree for 37 yards to the Ravens' 22 then wide receiver Andre Holmes for 21 to the 1, setting the stage for Murray.

The Ravens made it 17-17 with 7:44 remaining in the half on Flacco's 9-yard touchdown pass to Gillmore, who broke one tackle then carried two Raiders into the end zone.
