DEREK CARR memorial Fact of the day:
December 8, 2022 was a night to remember for the Veteran Derek Carr. A pivotal moment in his career, it would turn out to be the seminole moment that would define the beginning of the end. With a middling record under new Head Coach and trusted Belichick disciple Josh Mcdaniels the Raiders were seeking to establish a foothold in the standings and muster a playoff run. They prepared to face a reeling Defending Champion Los Angeles Ram team who were riddled with injury and destitute, starting UDFA Quarterback John Wolford. There would be late game heroics from a familiar name you have come to know, but from a very unexpected place.
Las Vegas started the game out strong, the Raiders had a 13-point lead with just over four minutes to go in the game and the Rams driving. The Rams offense had yet to score a touchdown in the game, but the Raiders let up and once they did, they opened up the chance for a comeback. Baker Mayfield saw his opportunity and made the most of it, coming off the bench later after spending a week with the team being acquored from Cleveland in a mid season trade to salvage their season, coming back with quick play, accurate passes and confidence. The Raiders defense lost its steam and in turn, the game.
The Raiders controlled tempo all evening, but Josh McDaniels' squad clearly lifted their foot off the gas pedal in the second half. Derek Carr finished with 137 passing yards and two interceptions, while Josh Jacobs rushed for 99 yards and a touchdown. Davante Adams made some splash plays as well, and caught three passes for 71 yards. With a 5-8 record and no hope in the standings the Raiders behind the combination of McDaniels and Carr would flounder, finishing 6-11 missing the playoffs and regressing from the 10-7 one and done season with Gruden, signaling the end of his tenure at Raiders QB. He would be cut the following season, with the Raiders improving to a 8-9 record the following year.
