As an aside, Gregg Williams is being lauded as a hero by Jets fans for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory as he did in that game. I saw a live stream of thousands of Jets fans on YouTube, all actively rooting for the Raiders in that game.
All they can think about is getting Trevor Lawrence, so anything that puts that in jeopardy is seen as sacrilege. They were screaming expletives that the Jets were winning, and celebrated like crazy when the Jets gave up the 46 yard TD. So from a football coaching standpoint, it was a spectacularly dumb decision to rush 7 and cover with 4 on that play, but sometimes spectacularly dumb decisions achieve the preferred outcome for fans who's jobs aren't on the line.
