While we will all remember the heroics of backup cornerback Isaiah Johnson in the final two plays of a 31-26 win at the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, a huge play by Las Vegas Raiders’ quarterback Derek Carr deserves its own place in our memory banks.
We all know the details: Carr did his best “Superman” leap to convert a key third down play in a third quarter drive that helped secure the win over the Chargers.
On Monday, Raiders coach Jon Gruden was asked to rate the leap and he played along.
