Week 2 against the Denver Broncos was an interesting game for the Raiders. Derek Carr set an NFL record as the only QB to finish a game with 90% completion and over 30 passes. As Levi pointed out, Carr’s performance answered a lot of the critics who said Carr was scared to stand in the pocket and deliver shots downfield.
Sadly, Carr’s surgically accurate passing display wasn’t enough to yield a win against the division rival. The run game couldn’t get going and the Raiders defense choked down the stretch, but the passing game was a bright spot.
