What they're saying: Raiders, social media react to controversial folded paper

Share

The Raiders lost Sunday night to the Cowboys, 20-17, by inches in Oakland. Literally. 

Derek Carr's fumble as he flew through the air was the final outcome, but another play kept the Cowboys alive. With 4:49 left and the score tied 17-17, the Cowboys went for it on 4th and 1. 

The ball was so close to the either being a first down or a turnover on downs, the referee used a folded piece of an index card to determine the outcome. The call stood as a first down and Dan Bailey eventually nailed a 19-yard field goal to give Dallas the lead.

Several Raiders went to Twitter to show their frustrations.
