WATCH: Seth Roberts Makes Insane Leaping TD Grab

Ryan Mayer

The Oakland Raiders entered Sunday sitting at 8-2, tied for the best record in the AFC and leading the AFC West by a game over both Kansas City and Denver. The prolific offense, led by quarterback David Carr is the main reason why the team has gotten off to such a hot start. While Carr's top two receivers, Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree, get most of the attention, the team's third receiver, Seth Roberts, has made plenty of big plays in his own right.

Roberts made another big play to kick off the scoring in the Raiders game against the Carolina Panthers today. The two teams traded punts on their first several possessions before Oakland finally got things rolling on their second drive. They worked it down to the Panthers two yard-line when Carr threw a jump ball in the back of the end zone for Roberts, who went up and got it.

The touchdown gave the Raiders an early 7-0 lead as they attempt to pick up their ninth victory of the year.
