Derek Carr couldn’t lead the Raiders past the Bengals, but he did lead the NFL in name-dropping on Sunday.
In the most star-studded audible you may ever hear, the Raiders quarterback mentioned pop star Rihanna and baseball greats Nolan Ryan and Clayton Kershaw while changing a second-quarter play.
“Rihanna! Nolan Ryan!,” Carr barked out loudly enough for CBS’ microphones to pick up, before quickly switching up. “No. No. Clayton Kershaw! Clayton Kershaw!”
The Dodgers star pitcher may be pleased to hear “his play” turned into an 8-yard run by Doug Martin during Oakland’s first touchdown drive.
