Loser: QB Derek Carr
The biggest loser of the day is Derek Carr, and I’m sure many of the Raider nation would agree after their reaction on twitter to his performance. Carr can not get over the Arrowhead hump and added another bad performance to his resume when playing in Kansas City.
In a game where Carr had to be absolutely had to be perfect, he was anything but that. Carr threw two back braking interceptions that helped the Chiefs continue to build their lead.
On the first one, he as completely confused by the Chiefs’ coverage thinking Mathieu was going to continue with the seam route but ended up coming off it to the out route for the easy pick. The next one was worse with Carr not seeing the safety creeping on the slant throwing it right to him for an ugly pick-six basically sealing the ball game.
Carr will continue to be questioned by the media and fans for his play in big games. For a player who put together an active 10 weeks to start this season seems like the same old Carr is creeping back up out of the garage and parks the luxury version at the tow yard. Carr has to answer next week with a strong performance, or the boos will be thunderous at Oakland Coliseum.
