Watch: Gardner Minshew hits Chris Conley to give the Jags a late-game lead and win

The Jacksonville Jaguars were able to end an eight-game losing streak on the West Coast thanks to some late game heroics by Gardner Minshew II. The Jags were able to take advantage of a missed field goal by kicker Daniel Carlson at the 3:31 minute mark and drove down the field for a seven play 57-yard drive.

Minshew hit both Conley and running back Leonard Fournette multiple times and eventually ended up on the Raiders’ 4-yard line. With ice in his veins, Minshew delivers the dagger, silencing the crowd in Oakland.

The Jags’ comeback win came on a historic day for the Raiders as they were playing in their last regular season game at RingCentral Coliseum (a.k.a. Oakland Coliseum). Coincidentally, the last time the Jags won on the West Coast was at the same stadium (2004), so it was only right for the Jags to be the team to rain on the Raiders’ parade.

As for Minshew, he finished the game 17-of-29 for 201 yards and two touchdowns. Conley, on the other hand, had four catches for 49 yards and the two aforementioned touchdowns.
