Next Carr on form Derek Carr was nearly perfect today without a running game. Latavius Murray only averaged 2.7 yards a rush and was relatively ineffective. Carr threw for 330 yards and three touchdowns without an interception. This is the second time this season Carr will have a 300 yard, 3 TD game without an interception, before this it hadn’t been done in Oakland since 2009. Carr is the undoubted leader of this franchise and will be slinging the ball around for years to come.

Previous Next Mediocre Mariota There are no two ways about it, he can make some magical plays and he did so throwing for three touchdowns. However, he only completed 46% of his passes and threw two interceptions. You can chalk this one up to experience and Derek Carr edged out the victory in this one.

Previous Next Raiders secondary a mixed bag Warning. This maybe a little rant. Neiko Thrope is a weak spot in this Raiders secondary. He was routinely beat all over the field today and gave up a touchdown to Harry Douglas when he was beaten on a double move and then committed a penalty on the same play. Then on third down he held in the end zone which gave the Titans a new set of downs from the one-yard line which ended in a touchdown, instead of a game-tying field goal. On the other hand, David Amerson has earned his second opportunity. He was drafted 51st overall by the Washington Redskins in 2013. He was cut earlier this season and the Raiders claimed him on waivers. The Raiders saw first hand what Amerson could do when he returned a interception for a touchdown against Oakland last season. Emerson was all over the field with at least six passes defended and an interception of Marcus Mariota. He earned an A grade for the second straight week.

Previous Next Titans struggle on offence The Titans ended up with 249 total yards compared to the Raiders 409. In the last two years, only one game has been won by a team with equal or less yardage when the opponent has over 400 yards, that was the 11-0 Panthers this season. Most of the yards the Titans got in this one was by the Tight Ends Walker, Fasano and Stephens, a known weak spot in the Raiders secondary.
