This last Raiders loss falls on Derek Carr's poor play

Derek Carr faced a make-or-break fourth quarter after 45 minutes of tough play.

He went with the latter. The Raiders' quarterback absolutely broke down against the Kansas City Chiefs down the stretch, costing his team a win -- and probably more.

He threw three interceptions in the game's final stanza. Two of his fourth-quarter picks put the opposition in point-blank range for points. And the third ended up as a 38-yard pick six.

“I get frustrated anytime we don’t win or I turn the ball over or anything like that. I always get frustrated. It’s tough,” Carr told ESPN's Bill Williamson. “It stings you but you have to move on.”

That's the problem; Carr's poor play will probably prevent the Raiders from moving on at all. They desperately needed a win to remain afloat in the tight AFC Wild Card race.

Instead, the Raiders sunk to 5-7 and Carr sunk into a terribly-timed sophomore slump.
