Overview
- In Monday remarks on FS1’s Wake Up Barstool, Dave Portnoy apologized, said his "murder" phrasing was figurative, and disavowed real-world violence.
- He said the finish cost him roughly $250,000, repeating claims of a "rigged" outcome and urging investigations of the Raiders, the NFL, and the officials.
- The pivotal flag was a defensive delay of game on Denver’s Brandon Jones for remaining on a downed receiver, a call consistent with NFL rulebook guidance.
- With five seconds left, Daniel Carlson converted a 46-yard field goal for a 24-17 final that flipped Denver -7.5/-8.5 spread results and pushed the total over 40.5.
- Raiders coach Pete Carroll defended kicking the field goal, saying he sought more time for an onside-kick chance and that he will not coach to public sentiment.
