LONDON — Derek Carr was helpless in the pocket all night, either scrambling for his life, absorbing thud after thud after thud or ducking away from a hand mere inches from his facemask.
The Raiders’ offensive line was dominant in 2016 and well above average in 2017. This year, and especially on Sunday, it has left much to be desired. Against the Seahawks, Carr’s protection was terrible.
The Raiders’ quarterback weathered 10 hits and six sacks. That’s only one fewer sack than the Raiders have all season. Only once before in his 68-game career had Carr been sacked that many times in a single game, against the Chiefs in Week 17 of the 2015 season.
