Derek Carr will be fired up
This may seem somewhat cliche, but it seems like every time Derek Carr has something to prove, he makes great things happen. When Carr’s back is against the wall, and everyone is calling for him to be benched or released or traded, he comes up big for the team. In Week 1 when everyone though he would struggle without Antonio Brown, he balled out.
When the Raiders were coming off back to back losses, and the Raiders were heading to Indianapolis looking awful, Carr answered. When the Raiders traveled to London to face the Bears, everyone thought Khalil Mack and the Bears defense would tear him up, he beat them.
When Derek Carr has something to prove and plays with a bit of fire, he shows his true potential. After the Packers loss, many fans were saying the Carr era is coming to a close, despite him not even playing too bad. This week, Carr will prove all the haters wrong, just like he has time and time again, and will put on a clinic against the Texans defense.
