Buster: WR Tyrell Williams

Derek Carr has thrown a pick-six two weeks in a row. And both passes were ones in which he stared down Tyrell Williams. I don’t think that’s a coincidence. Carr should have looked off Williams when he was covered, but Williams should also be better at shaking defenders.

Williams saw four targets and caught just one pass for 9 yards. Three tight ends and two running backs had better days than that. He may have had more targets too had he been able to get some separation.

Buster: HC Jon Gruden

After the game, the Chiefs defenders were saying they had figured out the Raiders offensive calls so they knew when Derek Carr was throwing deep. The Chiefs certainly had the Raiders’ number. It looked like they had Gruden’s playbook on speed dial. Every time Gruden went away from Josh Jacobs, the Chiefs made the Raiders pay.

Buster: PK Daniel Carlson

No kicker in football was more dependable than Carlson was after joining the Raiders midway through the season. He shanked a 44-yard field goal attempt in this game when the Raiders were desperate to get on the board. He has now missed a field goal in four of his last five games. That can’t continue. He needs to get his mind right and fast.
