The Las Vegas Raiders defeated the New York Jets 31-28 on Sunday afternoon. Up 28-24 with less than a minute remaining in the outing, New York punted the ball away to the Raiders. Las Vegas started off at their own 39-yard line with 42 seconds left and zero timeouts. First quarterback Derek Carr delivered a 15-yard strike to tight end Darren Waller, who subsequently spiked the ball. Then came an incomplete pass, which halted the proceedings. Finally, Carr found wide open rookie receiver Henry Ruggs to take a 30-28 lead. One extra point later and the Raiders found themselves walking off the field with a 31-28 victory.

And if I ran the world, the Super Bowl winner would get the first pick...To The Victor Goes The Spoils.
“The play didn’t affect the vast majority . . .”
It’s clear that I wasn’t talking about that play or that game.
If the Cowboys lose Prescott, they may very well be the worst team in the NFL next season.
That JETS CB is a walk on, non drafted rookie. I can't believe this defensive alignment wasn't called so they would intentional lose the game in the only possibly way available.
Wouldn’t he then be locked in to NFL “min wage” for the first four years?
btw, there is a big controversy about Jamie Vardy kicking a gay flag at the corner.
he didnt do it because of the flag.
its what they do
knowing this..dont put flags on the corner that are going to gin up controversy

That was Henry Ruggs III from the Crimson Tide I think. He is slightly faster than a cheetah cat.
He could negotiate his own contract..........
Jets fired Gregg Williams.
So I guess it wasnt about Tank for Trevor
Prevent defense and they may have won. They were in man coverage across the board and had people near the line of scrimage. The corner falls for a double move? This was on purpose.
But the NFL is a union shop, right? And rookies are on a 4 year deal with mandated salary levels? Otherwise all the studs would do what you said.
Sixth round....
“I wasn’t disagreeing with you.”

Gotcha, thanks for that clarification. I think post Nov 3, 2020 we have to assume everything is fixed in some way.
Does seem a bit suspicious doesn’t it?
I don't think so. Burrow is an Ohio kid and was happy to go to the Bengals. When you're the Number One pick, by definition you're going to a bad team. Unless another team trades up to get the pick.
Offensive coordinator Bob Gibson called for a running play when all that was needed was for the Giants to take a knee.
The handoff between quarterback Joe Pisarcik and Larry Csonka was fumbled and Eagles cornerback Herman Edwards grabbed the loose ball and returned it [26 yards] for the winning score.
This play is commonly referred to as The Miracle at the Meadowlands by Eagles fans and just “The Fumble” by Giants fans.

There is a reason the Jets are 0 - 11. They are a very bad team.
You don’t throw a game with 5 seconds on the clock, the other team might miss. That’s called screwing up. Something they’ve been doing all season.
