Just win, baby.
Late Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis probably was smiling from heaven Sunday while watching the team he founded win after making a bold call in the final minute of the game.
After scoring a late touchdown to pull within one against the New Orleans Saints, Raiders coach Jack del Rio made a very bold move to go for the two-point conversion and the win rather than tie the game with an extra point.
The move paid off as Raiders quarterback Derek Carr connected with wide receiver Michael Crabtree on a perfect back-shoulder throw.

Oakland earned a 35-34 win after New Orleans missed a 61-yard field goal attempt as time expired.
