The Raiders offense is playing as good as ever

Derek Carr and the Raiders have been playing lights out lately, as Derek Carr is clearly comfortable in Gruden’s offense now. Carr is having one of the best seasons of his career, throwing for 13 touchdowns on just four interceptions and completing over 71% of his passes.

The Chargers have a solid pass defense, but Carr has been finding ways to lead this offense down the field no matter who the Raiders are playing. Whether it is Carr making a great throw down the field, are calling audibles to put his offense in a position to score, Carr is making this offense look like one of the best in the league.

Carr also has a full set of healthy receivers now, as he utilized that against the Lions, spreading the ball all over the field. This offense is continuing to improve, and I would expect Carr and the rest of the offense to keep this trend up against the Chargers.
