To put things mildly, the Las Vegas Raiders' future hung in the balance in Week 17 when the New York Giants made the trip to Allegiant Stadium. Lose, and Las Vegas would have the inside track to the No. 1 pick next April. Win, and the Raiders would seal their franchise quarterback-less fate once again.
The Giants are known to blow a lead in the fourth quarter, and a Las Vegas touchdown with 31 seconds left in the third period made the score 20-10. The Raiders had just made a goal-line stop and held New York to a field goal on the possession before, so the momentum was swinging in their favor.
