Buster: QB Derek Carr
Make that six trips to Arrowhead for Derek Carr with no wins to show for it. And it seems like each trip there, his performance is worse than the last. At halftime, he had completed just six passes with two interceptions and a passer rating of 35.8.
By the time the score was 31-0, Carr had still only completed 6 passes on 13 attempts. That was over six possessions.
The first possession ended when he threw for Darren Waller in double coverage and was intercepted by Tyrann Mathieu. The Chiefs took the short field and scored their first touchdown.
In the second quarter, with the Chiefs having just scored their second touchdown of the day, Carr would stare down Tyrell Williams and Juan Thornhill easily read it for the pick-six.
The next possession ended after Carr overthrew Zay Jones up the right sideline and Daniel Carlson missed the 44-yard field goal attempt. The Raiders first scoring drive didn’t happen until late in the third quarter and it almost ended with Carr turning the ball over for the third time. He fumbled the snap and luckily Josh Jacobs was able to track it down and fall on it.
The drive would go as far as the 14-yard-line. But would get no closer because on three plays Carr passed up a short completion right and then open field to scramble left to instead throw the ball away, he completed a pass to fullback Alec Ingold for a loss, and finally overthrew Tyrell Williams deep. Three points is not what the Raiders needed down 31-0.
No one cares about the garbage time drive for a touchdown drive and the stats that came with it.
