With time running out, the Browns, led by quarterback Brian Sipe, mounted a desperate comeback. Driving deep into Raiders territory, the Browns faced a crucial decision. Coach Sam Rutigliano, in an attempt to avoid a risky field goal attempt, called for "Red Right 88," a passing play with instructions to throw the ball away if no one was open. However, Sipe, under pressure, threw the ball towards Ozzie Newsome. The pass, unfortunately, was intercepted in the end zone by Raiders safety Mike Davis, sealing Oakland's victory and shattering the hopes of the Browns and their fans.
