ALAMEDA, Calif. -- Running a hurry-up offense, Derek Carr engineered a breathtaking 75-yard drive in 11 plays over 76 seconds to close out the first half at the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. Carr punctuated the possession with a 3-yard rollout sprint to the right pylon for the touchdown.
It was the kind of play Oakland Raiders coach Jon Gruden had been hoping for from his franchise quarterback.
"He is a much better athlete than people know about, and we have been trying to encourage him to do more of that," Gruden said.
