Jon Gruden 'disgusted' with NFL over game-changing blown call

Jon Gruden and the Oakland Raiders were the victim of poor officiating during Sunday’s agonizing loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars that ended the team’s tenure in Oakland on the worst possible note. Late in the fourth quarter, with just over two minutes remaining, the refs absolutely blew a call on a Derek Carr run. The quarterback purposefully slid while still in bounds to keep the clock running. But incredibly, the officials stopped the clock. This brutal mistake by the refs essentially gave the Jaguars an extra timeout. If the clock had continued to roll, then the Raiders would have had their next play occur after the two-minute warning. Instead, the clock was stopped at 2:05, allowing Jacksonville a free extra play. Compounding this, Gruden, very upset, tried to challenge the play. But since you cannot review this type of play, not only did the Raiders lose valuable time, but they incurred a five-yard penalty. The Raiders, who should have had 1st-and-10 with two minutes left on the clock, faced 1st-and-15
