Las Vegas Raiders at Cleveland Browns: 3 players to watch in Week 8

Derek Carr

The Cleveland Browns struggle mightily to stop the pass, allowing nearly 300 yards per game through their first seven games. That should play right into the hands of the Raiders, who have a quarterback playing at a very high level, and numerous weapons in the passing game to attack with.

Derek Carr is in the middle of one of his better seasons as a pro, and will have a chance to really pad his statistics on Sunday. Of course, the main number that the Raiders are looking for is No. 4, which would be the amount of wins they would be leaving Cleveland with, and they are only going to go as far as Carr will take them.

The weather certainly does not favor Carr, who has had his struggles in cold and wet weather, but he is playing on another level this season. He is out to prove all of his doubters wrong, and going East and winning in bad conditions would silence another one of the big criticisms about him.
