Cris Collinsworth Had Perfect Line About Busy Refs During Ugly Jets-Raiders Game

This was a pretty good riff from NBC’s “Sunday Night Football” analyst.

In this story:

The Las Vegas Raiders beat the New York Jets, 16-12, in a rough game Sunday night between two teams fighting to stay alive in the AFC playoff race.

The Raiders have now won two straight games since Mark owner Davis fired former head coach Josh McDaniels, and they’re 5-5 on the season.

The Jets (4-5) now have lost two straight and have scored a combined 18 points in those defeats.

NBC’s Cris Collinsworth had a good line about the officials during the game, saying they’d need Tommy John surgery after all the flags they threw:

"The refs are going to need Tommy John Surgery after this one."

It was that kind of night in Las Vegas.
