Oakland Raiders need Derek Carr’s leadership now more than ever

The Oakland Raiders will head into their Week 11 matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals sitting at 5-4, and with a real shot to overtake the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC West. Oakland has already made themselves part of the conversation for an AFC Wild Card spot, especially with how the cards fell this past weekend.

Not only did the Raiders beat the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday night to move their record over .500, but they also got a ton of help on Sunday. The Tennessee Titans beat those Chiefs thanks to a blocked field goal late in the game, moving the Raiders to within a half-game of Kansas City for the division lead.
