The Las Vegas Raiders were able to rally past the Jets, 16-12, at home on Sunday night to get their second straight win in the post Josh McDaniels-era and move to 5-5 on the season. 

The Jets looked like they might have a chance to win the game in the final minutes, but Raiders linebacker Robert Spillane ended those hopes when he picked off a Zach Wilson pass with just over a minute remaining. The Raiders then were able to eat up the rest of the clock and get the win.

Then a few moments later, Spillane shared some big news during his postgame interview with NBC reporter Melissa Stark.

This was pretty great: 

What a night for the linebacker and his wife. Here’s his game-winning play:

Congrats to the Spillanes.
