“Thursday Night Football” was a tough watch for Detroit Lions fans. Besides it being an extremely boring game for 3.5 quarters, it ended in dramatic, heart-breaking fashion. Lions fans were hoping to see the Los Angeles Rams drop their seventh game in a row, and with the Raiders up 13 points with under five minutes left, that seemed all but inevitable.
But then Baker Mayfield eventually led a 98-yard game winning drive in just 1:35—with no timeouts in his pocket. While Mayfield deserves a ton of credit for a gutsy drive, the final plays of the game were as much defined by the Raiders’ incompetence, including a critical personal foul penalty that erased a sack and stopped a running clock.
