Josh McDaniels shares thoughts on Jerry Tillery’s penalty

One of the early turning points of the Las Vegas Raiders’ Week 4 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers came at the beginning of the second quarter when defensive tackle, and former Charger, Jerry Tillery hit quarterback Justin Herbert as Herbert stepped out of bounds.

The sideline official immediately threw his flag into the air and a mob of powder blue jerseys swarmed Tillery, many of whom he was teammates with at this time last year.

The defensive tackle’s unnecessary hit not only cost the Raiders 15 yards but also led to his ejection and Los Angeles went on to score three plays later to make it a two-possession game.
