ALAMEDA — Derek Carr didn’t wince when the issue of pass protection was brought up, but could have hardly been blamed if he had.
“To be honest, man, going into season, my No. 1 goal, the No. 1 thing I prayed about, was just to finish healthy,” the Raiders quarterback said Thursday. “I didn’t know I was going to get hit the most I ever have. I don’t think any of us saw that happening.”
Instead, it’s been target practice.
The Raiders have made little progress in a 3-11 season heading in to their Christmas Eve home finale against the Denver Broncos at the Coliseum.
