There was still a chance for the Raiders to make score back-to-back as they had the ball to open the third quarter. On the final play before the field goal, Carr missed a wide-open Darren Waller in the end zone. But there were signs things were not right. The Raiders carried a 13-10 lead into the half. “Different guys may react individually, but I feel like with the practice that we had this week, I feel like guys were focused on the game and came in with a solid mindset.” “It was a lot of emotional weight on me, but I feel like I came into this game ready to play,” Carr said. Meanwhile the Raiders offense scored a TD and a field goal to take a 10-7 lead.

After the defense gave up an opening-drive touchdown, they stiffened up, stopping the Giants on their next three drives. It would have been truly miraculous for him and the Raiders offense to perform with maximum efficiency in this situation.Īll things considered, in the first quarter against the Giants, the Raiders looked like they could win this one. He has handled it as best as can be expected. I said this week that if any QB is best suited to be able to handle it, it’s Carr. 1 receiver was not going to be as easy to recover from. He stepped up quite well, in fact, helping lead the Raiders to two straight wins. He was able to step up following the sudden resignation of head coach Jon Gruden last month. Derek Carr in particular had a lot to process.
