NFL world reacts to a fullback scoring the Raiders' first TD in Las Vegas

Old school. New school. Those two clashed early during the Las Vegas Raiders’ first ever game at Allegiant Stadium Monday night against the New Orleans Saints.

Stud Saints running back Alvin Kamara scored the first ever NFL touchdown in Las Vegas, a one-yard scamper in the first quarter.

Showing us how old school he is, Raiders head coach Jon Gruden drew up a pass play from Derek Carr to fullback Alec Ingold for the team’s first ever touchdown in Las Vegas. That’s not a typo. It’s going to be a pretty awesome trivia question in about two decades.

If you had Alec Ingold with the first ever #Raiders TD in Las Vegas, just skip the rest of the game and head to a casino. pic.twitter.com/c5E7J4pzxt

To be fair, Ingold was a darn good lead blocker for Josh Jacobs as a rookie last season. However, he entered Monday’s game having recorded six catches in 17 career games. In fact, odds were 16-to-1 that Ingold would be the first Raiders player to score in Vegas.

Those watching the game had some pretty awesome reactions to Ingold etching his name in Raiders history.

“Yes! I only needed 7 pts out of Alec Ingold!”

-no one

“Alec Ingold, what were the odds of that?” –@espnSteveLevy

Well, one bettor made $2,300 on a $100 bet for him to score #NOvsLV pic.twitter.com/L0brodaUQy
