Carr’s comeback didn’t come without the Raiders blowing a lead in the second half, fumbles from Jeremy Ross and Carr himself helping the Titans to take a lead at home with the hopes of spoiling the Raiders season. “It’s going to be a good test. They have a couple of big defensive tackles that create a wall up there, and we need to move them”. “It was tough there, there was a reason to be discouraged”. “The referees put it in their hands and gave them the opportunity to get the ball back, and of course they scored a touchdown”. We’ve got the fantasy projections courtesy of numberFire.

The Titans had a chance at another comeback until rookie Marcus Mariota was intercepted for the second time, this one by Nate Allen with 43 seconds left to seal the win in a game Oakland dominated. The drive featured a 41-yard pass up the right sideline to Amari Cooper. Webb tried to find the official, saying later he never held the receiver. It changes the game. “It’s frustrating, very frustrating”.
It wasn’t so long ago that Carr was talking about how he felt light years removed from being a 16-game rookie starter and how the game had “slowed down” and become more manageable.
“He had a three-game stretch where the offense was averaging 30-plus points and you saw what he is capable of, ” Woodson said on the NFL Network.
“This is completely on us, which is a good thing because we know we can go fix it, ” Carr said.
“I just kind of lost track of the corner”, Mariota said. During the same game, tight end Delanie Walker was the clear go-to by amassing 109 yards.
Lacy ran for 105 yards on 17 carries and caught four passes for 34 yards and a 25-yard touchdown in Green Bay’s 17-13 loss to the Chicago Bears on Thanksgiving night.
I think, and I doubt that I’m alone it’s time for the Raider offense to reestablish their ground game. The Titans dropped to 0-5 at Nissan Stadium this season when they suffered their 10th consecutive loss in their own building on November 15, a 27-10 setback to Carolina. On the downside, he was sacked once and fumbled twice, losing one.
Oakland’s mistakes helped Tennessee turn a game where the Raiders had been cruising into a frantic finish.
After directing the offense to 19 scores (with 13 touchdowns) in 35 possessions against the Chargers, Jets and Steelers, the Raiders have just five scores (with three touchdowns) in their last 20 possessions over two losses. Then Carr hit Seth Roberts in the left side of the end zone for the touchdown and a 24-21 lead.
Carr briefly left after taking a shot from Jones on the opening series of the game. However, protection around Mariota has gotten worse as the season has gone on and frustrations are mounting for the league’s worst team by record. Titans linebacker Wesley Woodyard said after Sunday’s game the players are disappointed they haven’t been able to reward Mularkey with another win of late. Denico Autry blocked Ryan Succop’s first extra-point try for the first miss by the Titans since 2006 and the first missed extra point in Succop’s career.

In the beginning of the second quarter on a fourth down, Bergstrom’s snap wasn’t ideal, but what center hikes the ball with precise perfection on every down?
