The Oakland Raiders improved their record to (8-2) last night against the Houston Texans in Mexico City, but it didn’t come without controversy.
In the weighing moments, it appeared the Texans earned first downs on two separate occasions. However, they weren’t granted either first down by the officiating crew.
Here’s one of the plays:

To make matters worse, ESPN caught Sabastian Janikowski and Derek Carr fist bumping with the refs before the game.

It’s easy to see why the Texans are upset today.
