Seattle Seahawks linebacker Darrell Taylor provided viewers with one of the most head-scratching moments of the season Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders, as he gave his team a literal 12th man on the field following a Derek Carr interception.

Officials either didn't see or decided not to call the Seahawks for too many men on the field, giving the team great field position for their first offensive possession of the game. Seattle running back Kenneth Walker III scored a rushing touchdown moments later.
The offensive fireworks were just starting, as Raiders running back Josh Jacobs gashed the Seahawks defense for over 300 scrimmage yards (including 33 carries for 229 rushing yards) and two touchdowns. Jacobs won the game for the visitors on an 86-yard touchdown run in overtime.
Carr would settle in following the interception, finishing the day 25-for-36 with 295 passing yards, a season-high three touchdown passes, and two interceptions.
Taylor recorded no stats and played just 18 defensive snaps and seven special teams snaps in Week 12. He has played in 10 games this season -- making three starts -- and is second on the team in forced fumbles (three) and tied for second in sacks (3.0).
