ALAMEDA, Calif. -- Hindsight is always 20/20 so, of course, many critics are wondering why Derek Carr was in the game in the fourth quarter with the Oakland Raiders holding a 19-point lead over the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday, let alone passing the ball.
Carr was caught for a sack in that fourth quarter by a diving Trent Cole and his right foot rolled under Cole's body, breaking the fibula in his right leg.
The 12-3 Raiders' Super Bowl hopes are shot, many think, and on such an unnecessary play.
