NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The NFL officiating department told Titans interim coach Mike Mularkey that a crucial fourth-down call against the Titans that gave Oakland a chance to win was "a poorly officiated play," Mularkey said.
A holding penalty against cornerback B.W. Webb gave the Raiders a first down with 1:50 remaining in the game and they scored the go ahead touchdown two plays later for the 24-21 win.
Safety Michael Griffin broke up Derek Carr's fourth-and-8 pass from the Titans 36-yard line into the end zone intended for receiver Andre Holmes. But the crew headed by referee Jeff Triplette threw a flag and said Webb held receiver Amari Cooper on the other side of the field not far downfield.
