Malik Jackson spikes ball off Michael Crabtree’s head (Video)

The Denver Broncos are trying to escape an upset in Oakland, but Malik Jackson is making that hard.
When the Denver Broncos entered the season, we expected them to cruise to the AFC Playoffs once again and be a force to really consider paying attention to in January. But it’s only October and while the Broncos are undefeated, that seems to be mostly a technicality than anything else.
Denver is a lucky 4-0 and they have been in close games against the Chiefs, Vikings and now the Raiders — all teams with less than stellar records. Oakland is trying to pull off the upset, and Brocnos defensive lineman Malik Jackson is trying to help them out.
In what was a completely dumb move, Jackson decided to spike the ball off Michael Crabtree’s head.
This isn’t the first time that a Raiders receiver has been the subject of extra curricular cranial abuse. Amir Cooper was attacked by Adam ‘Pacman’ Jones in the first game of the season and that was play that was flagged as well.
Unfortunately for the Raiders, they weren’t able to capitalize on this, as Sebastian Janikowski surprisingly missed a field goal, leaving this as nothing more than a dumb play that went ultimately unpunished.
