Las Vegas Raiders defensive lineman Quinton Jefferson saved the day for all players and personnel on the field at Allegiant Stadium on Sunday night during a game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Chiefs’ offense was near midfield and were hoping to get a touchdown when Jefferson picked up what appeared to be a scissor off the field and gave it to an official. One of the Chiefs’ offensive linemen wasn’t sure what was happening and wanted a flag for encroachment.
