Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr had a memorable season in 2016, displaying his “Mamba Mentality” with a barrage of clutch moments and comeback victories. Carr finished the season with 28 TD’s, 6 INT’s, and nearly 4,000 yards passing in 15 games.
Carr set the tone for the season in the opener against the New Orleans Saints, going 24 of 38 for 319 yards, with 1 passing TD. What this stat line does not show, is Carr’s pinpoint perfect pass to Michael Crabtree for the game-winning two-point conversion.
Carr was named the clutch performer of the week just three weeks later, when facing the Ravens.
