For the third straight week, the Raiders played a completely trivial fourth quarter after giving up a flood of points en route to a 42-21 loss.
The only meaningful moment in the entire fourth quarter was Derek Carr throwing the ball away on 4th and goal from the 2-yard line. That says a lot.
With three games left, the Raiders are now simply fighting to finish with a winning record and may go into evaluation mode to canvas the roster for hidden gems while figuring out who they’d like to keep aboard moving forward.
