With 12 seconds remaining in the game, the Jets ran an all-out blitz and left speedster Henry Ruggs in single coverage. That was a bad idea. Just like everyone else watching the game, Carr couldn't believe the play call.
Carr hit Ruggs for a 46-yard touchdown, giving the Raiders a huge win as the Jets still search for their first victory this season.
