Deflected Two-Point Try Sinks Raiders in OT Loss to Jaguars

The loss leaves a 2-6 Las Vegas confronting Tuesday’s trade-deadline choices.

Overview

  • Geno Smith’s overtime two-point pass was batted at the line by DaVon Hamilton with 16 seconds left, sealing a 30-29 Jaguars win at Allegiant Stadium.
  • Pete Carroll and Smith said they did not regret the decision to go for two, noting Tyler Lockett broke open in the back of the end zone on the called play.
  • Smith posted 284 yards and four touchdowns on 29-of-39 passing with one interception, drawing sharp fan criticism despite the strong box score.
  • Returning from a knee absence, Brock Bowers caught 12 passes for 127 yards and three touchdowns, becoming the Raiders’ first tight end with three TDs in a game since 1986.
  • With playoff odds near zero ahead of Tuesday’s deadline, ESPN reports Las Vegas is weighing moves involving veterans such as Jakobi Meyers, as Maxx Crosby reassures fans he’s committed and the team prepares for a short-week trip to Denver.
