Jeff Howe Explains Why The Raiders Shouldn’t Have Gone For Two Points

During a crucial moment in the fourth quarter of Monday night’s game between the Las Vegas Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs, Derek Carr hit Davante Adams in stride for an electrifying, game-tying 48-yard touchdown with four minutes to play.

Well, it should have been a game-tying touchdown, but that’s not exactly how things played out.

Instead of tying things up at 30-30, Las Vegas opted to go for two and the lead but ultimately failed as the Chiefs escaped with a narrow one-point victory to send the Raiders to a 1-4 start to the season.

The Athletic’s Jeff Howe joined Cattles & Ramie this week to break down Las Vegas’ decision to go for two and much more as we move into Week 6 of the NFL season.

Other topics discussed:

• How bad of a decision was it for the Raiders to go for two near the end of Monday’s game?
• What should the NFL do about the roughing the passer issue?
• Is there any scenario where Jimmy Garoppolo remains in San Francisco past this season?
• Will the Carolina Panthers start tearing down its roster after firing Matt Rhule?
