ALAMEDA – Derek Carr is getting sacked more now than any point in NFL career, likely more than his days as an amateur.
The Raiders quarterback was sacked five times in Sunday’s 30-16 loss to Cincinnati, bring his season total to 47. That’s a career-high by a ton, with two more games to add to the tally.
Carr’s previous high was 31 in 2015, which isn’t too many at all. This year’s total ranks third in the NFL, and it’s an especially shocking number considering how quick he gets rid of the football.
Add 22 quarterback hits to the 47 sacks and Carr has taken quite a beating this season.
