The Las Vegas Raiders have, for the most part, turned things around. The offense still needs some work, but the defense absolutely showed up. They have won two in a row under Antonio Pierce.
The defense capped off the game. They picked off Zach Wilson to take the Jets out of scoring position. Then, when the offense couldn't get a first down and had to punt, the defense stopped the Jets again.
So, who got the Sunday Night Football game balls? One went to Josh Jacobs, and rightfully so, and the other to Robert Spillane, who had that interception.
When the two got on TV to talk about the win, Spillane had an announcement to share as soon as he told everyone how he made his big play.
"We are actually pregnant, so we get to tell the world today that my beautiful wife will have our first baby here in June, so I'm looking forward to it," Spillane said after the win.
So, in other words, Raider Nation is getting a new addition to the family.
In all seriousness, I'm sure Spillane and his family will hear it nonstop from the fan base, especially considering what he has done for the team this year. He has been the second-best defender on the team.
Spillane is everything a Raiders player is supposed to be. A guy who plays relentlessly, played with a broken hand, and hard and is just a guy with a ton of heart. He will be one of those "once a Raider, always a Raider" guys. So, congratulations, Spillane.
