5. #1 Derek Carr carrying the team on his back for a four-yard touchdown
This wasn’t the game-winning score or even what put the Raiders in range to win a game, but it symbolic. While Derek Carr has had a dip in performance this season, his five-yard rushing touchdown on Sunday symbolizes that he will need to carry his team if he wants a shot at the playoffs.
If nothing else, Derek Carr needs to prepare for his next three games, or he might be looking for another place to play next year. If Carr doesn't come away with at least two wins at the end of this final stretch, coaches are going to start thinking about benching him. That’s not a conversation the Raiders want to have, especially with Mariota as their backup.
