Derek Carr believes Raiders are “a lot closer” than people think

After winning just four games and trading away a few valuable pieces, the Oakland Raiders were not anywhere close to a playoff team in 2018.

On defense, the Raiders ranked dead last in the league giving up 29.2 points per game.

On the other side of the ball it wasn’t much better for Oakland as it ranked just 28th in the league scoring 18.1 points per game. With some quick math, the Raiders had an average point differential of 11.1 points per game. Absolutely abysmal.

Despite a poor season for the second straight year, Derek Carr is still optimistic about the team’s future.
