Derek Carr continues his no-INT streak

Derek Carr has not thrown an interception since Week 5, and has mastered a Jon Gruden offense that is one of the more complex in football. He is playing with incredible confidence, and it appears that Gruden, and the organization are fully invested in him being the starting quarterback for the foreseeable future.

Carr nearly saw his no-INT streak end this past weekend against the Bengals, as he was under duress the entire game. He is going up against a very good pass rush for the Broncos on Monday night, and a very good defensive secondary, but it is very possible that he continues to protect the ball the way he has over the last couple of months.

The Broncos have a dominant tandem in the pass rush in Bradley Chubb and Von Miller, and you can be sure they will be bringing the pressure against the Raiders rookie tackles, It will be up to Carr to make the right decisions on Monday, and based on his play since Week 5, my feeling is he will do just that.
