LAS VEGAS -- Reports of Derek Carr’s groin’s demise were, to paraphrase Mark Twain, greatly exaggerated. And on the flip side, the Las Vegas Raiders suddenly found a pass rush -- the three sacks they had tied a season high.
None of it mattered, though. Not with such a putrid defense. And not when Arden Key gives the Miami Dolphins an extra 15-yards on a facemask penalty on Ryan Fitzpatrick and blown coverage by Damon Arnette and Isaiah Johnson, all on top of ultra-conservative playcalling in the red zone by the Raiders.
