As much as everyone wants to praise Derek Carr for keeping his promise and helping the Las Vegas Raiders get to the playoffs, it was far from his best game. Not only is that evident by Carr only completing 55% of his passes throughout four quarters, but also due to him only managing to rack up 186 yards. Of course, some will be quick to point to him throwing zero interceptions and allowing zero turnovers, but that's what he should have been doing all season long.

In the end, Derek Carr is a good Quarterback. He could lead a team far into the playoffs, but not with his recent performances. Now, some of the blame probably lies with the Raiders' less-than-stellar running game, but Carr just doesn't have the pieces in place to make 2022 a long playoff run. Maybe next year.
