ALAMEDA – Tyrell Williams took off downfield, without offering much deception or distraction in his route. The new Raiders receiver simply turned on the afterburners and went.
Quarterback Derek Carr saw a sliver of separation created and launched one deep without hesitation, trusting Williams would make a big play downfield. Sure enough, the high-priced free agent signing jumped over his coverage and snatched the ball from the sky.
Touchdown, Raiders. Smooth and easy.
Having such a prominent deep threat gives Carr ample opportunity to fire his cannon arm.
“Contrary to popular belief, I like throwing it down the field,” Carr said with a smile.
