Williams’s firing comes a day after the debacle against the Las Vegas Raiders. A Henry Ruggs III miracle with just five seconds to go in regulation caused controversy to the point of intentional tanking claims.

With 13 seconds to go in the fourth quarter, Derek Carr and the Raiders needed a touchdown.
