Biggest Win: Week 14 vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

Heading into their Week 14 matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers, nobody gave the Oakland Raiders a chance to win. The Steelers came into the game after losing two straight, and with their playoff life hanging by a thread, the expectations were they were going to make it an ugly one against the 2-10 Raiders.

Well, the Raiders hung in against Big Ben and the Steelers all game long, and with a chance to win it late, Derek Carr found Derek Carrier for his second fourth quarterback touchdown pass of the game. Carrier scored from six yards out with 0:21 seconds left, and when Chris Boswell slipped on a 40-yard field goal try, the Raiders had pulled off one of the biggest upsets in the 2018 NFL season.

Biggest Moment: Derek Carr to Derek Carrier vs. Pittsburgh

Down 21-17 with under 30 second left in the game, the Oakland Raiders needed a touchdown to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers. On a fourth-and-6 play, Derek Carr found Derek Carrier for a six-yard touchdown, putting the 2-10 Raiders up 23-21 in a game they would eventually win 24-21 against the 7-4-1 Steelers.

The touchdown was the only one of the season for Carrier, who matched his season high of two catches in the game. He did a lot of good things for the Raiders in 2018, but nothing will match the six-yard score against a team expected to blast the Raiders in that Week 14 matchup.
