The Vikings and Raiders combined for a grand total of three points on Sunday.
The Vikings and Raiders played some of the most putrid offense in NFL history, with the game tied 0-0 until the two-minute warning of the fourth quarter. But in the end, the Vikings found a way to win.
They may have had a chance to score more points if a ref had been paying attention to what his job entails.
Following a completion from Joshua Dobbs to wide receiver Jordan Addison, it appeared the Vikings would need just two yards for a first down.
However, video shows a ref putting the ball an entire yard away for no reason at all.

Only Greg Joseph’s 36-yard field goal with 1:57 left that gave the Vikings a 3-0 victory over the Raiders prevented the teams from setting the league back 80 years.
This was the first 3-0 game since Pittsburgh beat Miami during the 2007 season.
For those who wanted to know, the last game that ended regulation scoreless was a 0-0 tie between the New York Giants and Detroit Lions in 1943.
The Vikings had just 230 total yards, and the Raiders were limited to 201 yards and nine first downs.
The Vikings’ offense was so bad that the team announced Nick Mullens would be getting the start against the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday. He is the fourth starting quarterback for the Vikings in a seven-game stretch as they look to secure a playoff berth.
