ALAMEDA, Calif. — The meticulous rebuilding job in Oakland crashed as soon as quarterback Derek Carr broke his right leg in the penultimate game of the regular season.
Instead of thoughts of a Super Bowl, the Raiders lost a chance at the division and then their first playoff game in 14 years with a 27-14 loss to Houston on Saturday.
With most of the key pieces in place, now the Raiders hope having a healthy Carr will next season help them take another step toward a championship.
