Derek Carr's off passing night hurts Raiders in loss to Chiefs

KANSAS CITY – Almost from the moment Derek Carr emerged from the Coliseum tunnel with his dislocated right pinkie popped into place 11 days ago, the Oakland Raiders quarterback has insisted there were “no limitations” to his game.

And yet…

Carr has taken every snap since the injury, which occurred on a mistimed snap while under center, from either the shotgun or pistol formation to save the digit from another potential jam.

Add in the elements, 21 degrees at kickoff with a windchill of 12 degrees, his massive left guard Kelechi Osemele a late scratch due to illness, and Carr’s poor history against a division rival in the Kansas City Chiefs and well, you get a 21-13 loss, despite Oakland’s defense pitching a shutout in the second half.
