Las Vegas Raiders linebacker Robert Spillane played hero for his team on Sunday against the New York Jets. Spillane made the most of his heightened spotlight after the game
The Raiders led 16-12 with just over a minute left in the fourth quarter at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nev
The Jets were threatening to score a go-ahead touchdown facing 2nd-and-8 at the Raiders’ 20. Jets quarterback Zach Wilson tried to hit wide receiver Allen Lazard close to the first-down line but Spillane read Wilson’s throw perfectly The 6-year veteran intercepted the pass and all but shut down the Jets’ chances of a comeback
Spillane was given the rare opportunity to be the postgame interviewee on the NBC broadcast The 27-year-old used his interview as a chance to announce his wife’s pregnancy.
My wife is actually pregnant. So we get to tell the world today that my beautiful wife will have our first baby here in June. I’m looking forward to it said Spillane
Spillane’s enthusiasm to break the news was palpable
The Raiders linebacker finished Sunday with a team-high 7 tackles and had 1 of Las Vegas’ 2 sacks on the night.
But Spillane was arguably not the happiest Raiders player after the win. His superstar teammate Davante Adams was literally dancing after the win over the Jets
Cris Collinsworth had a great line about all the penalties being called in the Week 10 “Sunday Night Football” game between the New York Jets and Las Vegas Raiders
The Jets began the second half with the ball leading 9-6. They got into a 3rd-and-8 situation and were called for a chop block, which moved them back 15 yards. On the next play they were called for offensive holding.
Those two penalties being accepted made it six infractions committed by the Jets in just over one half of football. The Raiders had been called for one penalty at that point.
All the penalties being called against the Jets led to a funny line from Collinsworth, who was calling the game with Mike Tirico for NBC.
“The refs are going to need Tommy John surgery after this one,” Collinsworth joked
Yes, you throw that many flags, you’ll end up needing an operation typically reserved for baseball pitchers.
The Jets entered the contest with 6.5 penalties accepted per game
