If you’re Oakland Raiders coach Jack Del Rio, you’re walking around with a little extra swagger after Sunday’s game. When you go for a 2-point conversion in the final minute and make it for the win, you’re allowed.

Well, Del Rio found ESPN’s fancy stats on Twitter and he wasn’t letting anyone get over on him, not on Sunday.

Oh, man. Del Rio is feeling it! Live look at Del Rio:
