The Raiders entered this season with a considerable amount of hype, and their momentum looked like it might be slowed a bit after the defense got carved up by Drew Brees and the Saints on the road.

Then Jack Del Rio donned his finest feather-plumed riverboat captain's hat and went full YOLO by calling for a two-point conversion to give the Raiders a chance at winning the game and avoiding overtime.

Derek Carr, who played well in the opener and particularly late, found Michael Crabtree on the conversion and stunned the whole world.
