Derek Carr's deep passing game improved after pinkie injury

ALAMEDA, Calif. – Derek Carr called his dislocated right pinkie finger “some of the most pain I’ve ever felt in my life” after returning to help lead another comeback victory.

Imagine the pain, then, felt by the Carolina Panthers after Carr’s injured digit actually improved Carr’s deep passing game, helped, of course, by a black glove on his right hand that resembled something Luke Skywalker wore after getting his hand chopped off by Darth Vader.

A lightsaber being wielded by his father had nothing to do with it, though, rather ,a mistimed snap between center Rodney Hudson and Carr did the damage.
