The Raiders benched Derek Carr; Jarett Stidham will start against the 49ers

Kyle’s update, 11:13 AM PT: It’s official. The Raiders have benched Derek Carr:

Raiders are benching Derek Carr and turning to Jarrett Stidham as their new starting QB.

Carr has thrown a league-leading 14 interceptions— including three Saturday night during a 13-10 loss to the Steelers.

Stidham has thrown only 61 passes and never has started an NFL game. pic.twitter.com/IJa1LfYGXT— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) December 28, 2022

As the 49ers' season winds down, they face two opponents out of playoff contention. The Las Vegas Raiders and Arizona Cardinals came into the season with reasonable expectations yet still fell short of those goals.
