5 takeaways from Raiders’ loss to Chiefs in Week 14

This was an awful time for Derek Carr‘s worst game of the year.

Just when we thought that Derek Carr had outgrown his terrors with regards to the Chiefs, nope, no he did not. Arrowhead is a house of horrors for the Raiders’ franchise quarterback. He gave us one of his worst performances of the season. Man, it was ugly.

Technically, the Washington Redskins’ road loss back in Week 3 was statistically worse, but looking this bad in a division rivalry game was especially troubling. Carr completed 24 of 41 passes for 211 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions. His completion percentage was 58.5, his yards per attempt was 5.2 and his quarterback rating was 60.1.

Though almost all of those metrics were better than the horrible Washington game, we have to understand that most of Carr’s stats on Sunday came in the fourth quarter in total and complete garbage time. Oakland was already down 26-0 before Carr decided to wake up the offense with 15 minutes left in the ball game.

It felt like the offensive game plan was centered around making one progression before defaulting into a check down. This wasn’t an elite Kansas City defense the Raiders were up against by any stretch of the imagination. The Raiders putting up goose through three frames was directly correlated by bad quarterback play and an awful passing game plan.
