OAKLAND — You’ve heard of old school?
The Raiders lost Sunday night thanks in part to paper actually used in old schools. The Dallas Cowboys kept their winning drive alive only after a referee used an index card to determine whether or not the was close enough to the first-down marker.
The Raiders once lost a game on the Immaculate Reception. This one could have been settled by the Immaculate Receptionist.
“This is a billion dollar industry and it comes down to that?” broadcaster Greg Papa shouted during the radio broadcast.
The Cowboys held on for a 20-17 victory in front of a Coliseum crowd that road the train from frustrated to hopeful to just plain baffled by the end.
