Oakland Raiders head coach Jon Gruden was short and sweet on Friday in his final regular season press conference before what is likely the final game of the 2019 season. He answered one question, and it was about what makes Derek Carr so good on third down.
His response:
“Surprisingly, he just plays his best football in critical situations. I mean, I don’t know what the numbers say, but he’s audibled, he’s made accurate, tight-window throws. That’s a tough down to throw the ball on for sure. I just think the moment, the bigger the moment, the better he plays.
