Baller: QB Derek Carr
It was an efficient day for Carr, completing 26 of 30 passes for 291 yards and a touchdown with no interceptions. Two of his four incompletions were drops. And believe it or not, 291 yards is his second most of the season. He had 292 against the Bengals which was the last time the Raiders won a game.
Carr threw a pass on a rope to Renfrow on the slant that he took 56 yards for the first touchdown of the game. It was the fourth play of the game for Carr, three of which were completions.
With just under two minutes left in the second quarter, he got the ball with the score tied at 7-7. Then he moved the Raiders down the field in the 2-minute drill, starting with a 5-yard pass to Darren Waller, followed by a 20-yard hookup with Tyrell Williams. On 4th and two, he ran the bootleg out right and threw for Jalen Richard on a swing pass for 10 yards. Two plays later, he stepped up in the pocket and found Renfrow for 13 yards to the 12-yard-line and then found Renfrow again for nine yards. Two plays later, from the 3-yard-line, he ran the bootleg right again, this time he had some room and ran for the pylon for the score.
