Oakland Raiders backup quarterback Matt McGloin suggested the team’s game-winning playcall to offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave.

The Oakland Raiders big win over the Denver Broncos may have been headlined by Khalil Mack’s five sacks, but the game would not have went to the Silver and Black if not for a perfectly planned playcall that led to a Mychal Rivera touchdown. A crucial score that gave the Raiders their 15-12 lead, which was eventually the final score on Sunday afternoon.

With a 3rd and 15 after calling screen passes all game on long-yardage third downs, the Raiders opted to give the Broncos the same look that they had all game up until that point. Only this time it was a perfectly executed screen pass fake to Amari Cooper with tight end Mychal Rivera running down the seam. A play that had Rivera wide open for Carr in the endzone and a touchdown.

The play drew plenty of praise for offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave for calling a perfect fake screen, but it reportedly was backup quarterback Matt McGloin who suggested the call. Musgrave giving McGloin credit for the decision on Thursday according to CSN Bay Area’s Scott Bair.

Despite being stuck in a backup role, McGloin has always showed an eye for big plays during his career with the Raiders and this is the case here as his suggestion likely won the team a game. Musgrave listening to his quarterback on the sidelines helping the Raiders end a long losing streak to the Broncos as McGloin played a part in the victory even if he didn’t take a single snap.
