Oakland Raiders fail miserably on lateral attempt

Leave it to the Raiders to turn a potential 25-yard gain into a 10-yard loss.

At the end of the first half in Sunday’s game against the Titans, the Raiders were looking for some magic, but didn’t find it. David Carr completed a pass to Seth Roberts, who got down to the 20-yard line on a nice catch-and-run before he turned around to lateral the football.

A few laterals later, and Amari Cooper ended up with the ball at midfield, and the only option he was left with was to go backward.

It was a valiant effort, but an epic fail.
