AP file photo: Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr might have had a tough day on Oct 16 against the Kansas City Chiefs date of photo but has developed into one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL as he prepares to face the Denver Broncos on Sunday Night Football

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr in the last two games with the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was just phenomenal.  Against Jacksonville he had a decent game. In the second half of last Sunday’s game against the Bucs he threw for four touchdowns and on interception. He’s the 18th quarterback to throw for 5oo yards in a game he broke a franchise record for the most passing yards.

Again Carr did this without throwing an interception, the Raiders are a fun team to watch and it also was fun to see that involved tight ends Clive Walford and Mychal Rivera had a great game. It was really refreshing to see that Carr does has no fear. Carr was recently named offensive player of the week for his performance in Tampa Bay.
