NFL admits mistake on "poorly officiated" holding penalty that aided Raiders win over Titans

Sunday the Raiders were able to pull victory out of the jaws of defeat thanks solely to a holding penalty on their final drive. That penalty was called on Titans' defensive back BW Webb and it kept the Raiders' drive alive on a play that would have otherwise ended their hopes.

The Raiders were down 21-17 with under two minutes left in the game. They had driven into Titans' territory and were lined up in 4th and 8 with 1:57 left in the game. A first down keeps their hopes alive. Without it, they turn the ball over on downs and the Titans are able to run out the clock.
