There is a reason why teams struggle. One would be blowing coverage in the secondary when you have the opposition deep in its territory.
The Las Vegas Raiders did just that in the third quarter of Monday Night Football against the Green Bay Packers.
Somehow, Raider DBs let Christian Watson roam free for what turned into a 77-yard play after he caught the pass thrown by Jordan Love.
A horse collar tackle by Marcus Peters was also enforced.
Jordan Love rolls out and finds a wide open Christian Watson for 77 yards!

Despite the big play, Green Bay could just come up with a field goal that gave it a 13-10 advantage.
