On Thursday, the Las Vegas Raiders will take on the Los Angeles Rams on primetime. With several Thursday Night games under his belt, these are the best moments Derek Carr has had on the NFL’s mid-week slot.

While the Raiders’ season has certainly not gone as planned thus far, they have rebounded in a huge way recently. After winning three in a row, they have improved their record to 5-7. Of course, this is hardly a sterling record but it does give them an outside chance of getting a playoff spot.

Up next on the schedule is a date with the Rams in Los Angeles. A team marred by injuries to nearly all of their star players, the Raiders are going to be the favorite despite being on the road. This is another solid indication of how far Las Vegas has come in the last month. As many members of Raider Nation always believed, this is a team that is better than their record says.

With the next match-up taking place on Amazon Prime in the form of Thursday Night Football, it is always interesting to take a trip down memory lane with quarterback Derek Carr’s career. Amid his ninth season with the Raiders, he has played in eight such games.

While there are certainly lots of moments to choose from, these games in particular stick out as the most memorable of the franchise quarterback’s career.
