Its still stopping the clock when its the last thing they wanted, even a few seconds. Raiders changed their play call and got the first down and easy field goal range.
Raiders were gonna run the clock and try for a long field goal IMO
Carr himself said it changed their strategy...obviously they were gonna "go for the win" but a 55 yard FG is a much different story.
I'm not saying if they didn't call that timeout its for sure playoffs just that it wasn't a very smart call
