Twitter in disbelief over Raiders’ win, Jets’ defensive call
Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs might have delivered the NFL play of the day with his 46-yard touchdown catch to beat the New York Jets’ 31-28.
Beyond the obvious giddiness from (most) Raiders fans were those who thought the Jets threw the game in order to get the No. 1 overall draft pick and go after Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence.
Here’s a sampling of the Twitter reaction:

Jets aren’t losing out on Trevor Lawerence. Why would you zero blitz on 3rd and 10 with 13 sec and tm needs a TD beat you? That’s dumb

It's one thing to throw a blitz.
It's another thing to not have 5 DBs standing 40 yards off the line.#Jets#Raiders

Today went from the worst #Raiders loss in recent memory, to one of the most memorable Raider wins in a span of seven minutes.

I’m still stunned. The #Raiders had no timeouts & 13 seconds left. An all-out blitz on 3rd & 10 leaving your undrafted corner on Henry Ruggs?!

NY Jets fans: The #Jets lost to the #Raiders in the final seconds, but they still get Trevor Lawrence next year. pic.twitter.com/aBAtahRpnP

One of the rare games in #NFL history where one team steals victory from jaws of defeat on a last-second desperation play and fans of both teams are ecstatic about the result #raiders #jets
