Three Stars

1. Derek Carr, Raiders

For all the drama that has been surrounding Derek Carr this season, the fifth-year starter stepped up in a big way on Sunday. While he battled Jon Gruden on the sidelines for most of the game, he got the job done when it counted, and utilized his lack of weapons to give the Silver and Black their second win of the season.

2. Maurice Hurst, Raiders

The Raiders 2018 fifth round draft pick stepped up for the team on Sunday, as he continues to show why he is one of the more exciting rookies in the NFL this season. Hurst got his fourth sack of the season, and was a presence in the middle for a Raiders defense that took a big step forward on Sunday.

3. Larry Fitzgerald, Cardinals

The Arizona legend found the end zone twice on Sunday, as he showed that Father Time is nothing when it comes to his stellar NFL career. Fitzgerald has been an absolute pleasure to watch during his time in the league, and is a first-ballot Hall of Famer for sure.
