Sunday evening at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum began as an euphoric event, however advanced into a disillusioning day because of the Raiders 20-16 misfortune to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
For a large portion of the game, the Silver and Black possessed the lead, and the energy, however an exorbitant bring in the final quarter made a huge difference.
On a RPO play with 2:12 left in guideline, Derek Carr kept the ball himself, mixed for 12 yards and slid in the field of play close to the Jaguars’ sideline to keep the clock ticking; be that as it may, the clock halted. The administering team halted the check with 2:05 left in the final quarter when it should’ve ticked down to the two-minute admonition. The questionable call made a few things occur, which adversely affected the result of the game.
The Raiders’ offense slowed down after the play and a missed field objective set the Jaguars up in great field position with a break – which should’ve been utilized to stop the clock before the two-minute admonition, yet the arbitrators missed call halted it for them – and 1:43 left to walk down the field.
Following the finish of the Week 15 matchup, Head Coach Jon Gruden and quarterback Derek Carr voiced their mistrust with the call, and made their mistake liberally clear.
About 24 hours after the fact, Coach Gruden told correspondents during their week after week Monday public interview that they got a call from NFL Vice President of Officiating Al Riveron, who apologized for the authorities getting the approach the field wrong.
“The class called. Al Riveron, he was sorry. Furthermore, we acknowledge the expression of remorse.”
Gruden was appreciative for the conciliatory sentiment, however they’re as yet disappointed about the manner in which a great deal of calls have gone this season.
“I don’t care for it by any means,” they said when gotten some information about the play. “They halted the game in Indiana, removed my center linebacker for 12 weeks; they finished his season. They halted the game in Kansas City and took [Trayvon] Mullen’s block attempt away. Why not stop the game and get the clock right? I don’t think it was even close. Thus, I’m troubled about it. Statements of regret are extraordinary, yet this is 2020, we’ve been in enough gatherings and I’m nauseated by it.”
It was a baffling call that prompted a frustrating result, and it will without a doubt leave a sharp preference for the mouth of everybody who experienced it.
“What happened yesterday, the quarterback surrendered himself in the field of play,” Gruden emphasized. “You had eight [referees] out there, you know? Thus, I’m not going to state significantly more, however to respond to your inquiry it’s not genuine satisfying, or is it satisfying for our group and our fans who turned out there to help us.”
It’s pleasant to realize the NFL directing group perceived the mix-up, however it doesn’t change the reality it radically modified the course of the game.
