Jack Del Rio Throws Shade On ESPN Two-Point Conversion Tweet
Jack Del Rio is riding high after his gutsy call to go for two late in his team’s matchup with the New Orleans Saints worked out. By playing for the win instead of the tie, Del Rio and the Oakland Raiders certainly bucked conventional wisdom, as they converted and took home a 35-34 win.
ESPN Stats & Info threw some cold water on Del Rio’s gamble with the following tweet:
Based on ESPN’s win prob. model, Raiders had 51% chance to win if they kicked PAT & 44% chance if they went for 2 https://t.co/2FNbZxRwzj

Del Rio quickly fired back from his account:
Good thing ESPN isn't coaching the Raiders https://t.co/X6tB1YlZ4d

It’s Jack Del Rio’s day everyone, just leave the man alone or risk having your soul taken from you.
