    I’m without words. I can even analyze what I just saw.

      I think Collinsworth misread why they took the timeout. There were only like four seconds left on the play clock when they took it, so I'm pretty sure they didn't like their defensive set.
      In response to his pleas, an officer said: "You think we've never arrested somebody that's made national media? ... We deal with the Bengals all the time."

          What are the odds that this game came down to the very last play of the last game of the season in OT considering everything at stake, really makes you wonder that's for sure.

            ArtII called him with “a big number”.
            Timeout gets called.

            In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:

              No reason in any universe to call a timeout with your season hanging in the balance

                    Can't argue with that statement. I was watching and was thinking, if I'm the Raiders, I'm p!ssed and if I get the chance to win, I'm going to do it.

                      Sure there is.

                      I'm pretty sure it happens a couple times a week in the NFL that a team will call a time out because the defensive matchup is unfavorable.

                      The Raiders were moving the ball somewhat, it was third and four and if they don't pick up four yards on that next play the game is over.
                      In response to his pleas, an officer said: "You think we've never arrested somebody that's made national media? ... We deal with the Bengals all the time."

                        I am as confused as everyone. It was crazy. They’re were going for the tie and the chargers called a timeout? That was nuts

                          It took 4 yards and several more just to try a 47 yard FG….on a run up the middle play call.

                              Yeah. We got lucky that they gained enough to put them in FG range.
