The Oakland Raiders gave their former owner Al Davis what he would have wanted most – a come-from-behind win in the last moment against a tough team.
Davis, 82, died yesterday after a controversial, yet impactful career. “Just win baby” was his slogan. The Raiders saluted their old boss with a 25 to 20 win over Houston ending with an interception of the driving Texans in the last 7 seconds.
As usual in Raider games there was lots of play controversies. But nothing like Davis was in life.
Davis leaves a massive legacy. Which explains the outpouring of praise and recognition from coaches, general managers and players in the days and months before his death, many of whom had little nice to say about him in previous years.
