Anatomy of a play: Carr deep to Richard for 31 yards

In what turned into a shoot-out of a 4th quarter, Derek Carr hooked up with Jalen Richard on several important plays that set up a game-winning touchdown pass. In my opponent breakdown published last week, one of the keys to victory was testing the Detroit linebackers in coverage, namely by using the running backs in the passing game.

This came to fruition at a crucial moment for the Raiders offense, who took the field with the score tied up with 5:16 remaining in regulation. The opening play of the game-winning drive started with a bang in the form of a 31-yard pass to Jalen Richard up the seam.
