Las Vegas Raiders vs Los Angeles Chargers: 3 things to watch

More Carr magic?

In their win against the Indianapolis Colts, the Raiders saw starting quarterback Derek Carr throw two interceptions, and the second one looked like it could turn the game on its head. However, Las Vegas kept battling back, and when Derek Carr hit Hunter Renfrow for a touchdown with under 12 minutes left, it looked like the momentum had swung back in the Raiders’ favor.

Throughout this recent run, we have seen Carr show his classic late-game magic, something he has done time and time again during his career. He has 29 fourth-quarter comeback wins in his career, and on Sunday night, the Silver and Black may need some more of his late-game prowess to come away with the victory over the Chargers.

Beating the Chargers means something very different this time around, as Las Vegas can punch their ticket to the playoffs with a victory on Sunday night. With everything this team has been through, this would be an incredible accomplishment, and maybe Carr has a little more magic in his right arm for one more regular-season victory.
