It was the play that changed the game. Down 9-7 with under 7 minutes to go in the fourth quarter, Derek Carr’s short throw over the middle alluded both Seth Roberts and Amari Cooper, hitting Denver cornerback Chris Harris Jr. in stride for a pick-six.
Why was no one looking for the ball? Hard to say, but maybe it had something to do with the United States Navy – or specifically the Blue Angels who executed an impromptu flyover as Carr was barking out a pre-snap audible.
@JustBlogBaby …the crowd went crazy and Carr was trying to yell to his WRs. Playclock was dwindling. It was a circus.

Its not a conspiracy theory. It just happened. And it wasnt the jets themselves, but the crowd noise in reaction. https://t.co/raQEMjyY4M

For what it’s worth, the Blue Angels make plenty of noise without help from fans. Listen to the sound of just two flying over…
