MINNEAPOLIS — Raiders’ quarterback Derek Carr had the big-play connection with Cooper, but nearly had another one with Seth Roberts.
Carr’s final pass of the night came when he pump faked as Roberts executed a double move and got free down the sideline. The timing may have been just a tiny tick off and Carr’s pass hit off his hands.
Carr was visibly frustrated with Roberts and television cameras caught him yelling, “Catch the ball!” in Roberts’ direction.
“I really wanted to see him make that one,” Carr said. “We’ll go back and I’ll throw a couple of those to him and practice, make sure we get the timing exactly right.
