Jared Cook is a playmaker, and he came up with the biggest play of his young Oakland Raiders career on Thursday night.
On third and 10, with 23 seconds left in the game, from the Chiefs’ 28-yard line, Cook stood out wide, and upon the snap took off as he streaked towards the end zone. Carr rolled left, firing a dart through the air intended for his tight end. As the ball grew closer to Cook, the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum held its breath. Somehow, some way, with multiple defenders in coverage, No. 87 hauled in the pass, and Raider Nation let out a roar for the ages.
