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:
"My wife is actually pregnant. So we get to tell the whole world tonight that my beautiful wife will have our first baby here in June. So, I'm looking forward to it."
