You can never discount the revenge factor when a receiver is playing his former team.

Even when that receiver is a tackle.

Raiders offensive lineman Donald Penn just caught a touchdown pass from Derek Carr, pulling the Raiders back into a 10-10 tie at Tampa Bay.

Penn, who used to play for the Buccaneers, had reported as an eligible receiver in his old home stadium.

It’s actually his fourth career touchdown, two each for the Raiders and Bucs. He didn’t dunk the ball over the goalpost this time, as that would be fine, but it was a needed play for the Raiders as they try to preserve their perfect road record.
