On Monday Night Football against the Saints, the Raiders were trailing 10–0 in the second quarter before a 10-play drive brought them to the New Orleans 3-yard line.
Las Vegas lined up with a tight end on each side, Josh Jacobs deep in the backfield and fullback Alec Ingold wedged in the middle, completing the jumbo goal line I-formation set. If you listened to Jon Gruden’s introductory press conference and subsequent combine press conference a few years back, where he lamented the surge in analytics and promised to bring back the 1990s, this is sort of what we all had in mind.
