Derek Carr sparks big Raiders lead

OAKLAND -- Oakland Raiders second-year quarterback Derek Carr is continuing his hot play Sunday, giving the Raiders big lead with a 147.5 QBR in the first half.

Carr threw touchdown passes on the Raiders’ first three possession Sunday. He threw three touchdown passes last week in a 37-29 win at San Diego last week.

He is the first Raiders quarterback since 2004 to throw three touchdowns in back-to-back games. Kerry Collins was the last.

Carr has completed 14-of-18 pass attempts for 178 yards as Oakland leads the New York Jets, 21-6.
