MINNEAPOLIS — Here’s how the Raiders graded out in a 34-14 road loss to the Minnesota Vikings:
PASS OFFENSE D
The numbers for Derek Carr (27 of 34 for 242 yards, 2 TDs and one interception with a 103.7 passer rating) far exceeded his actual performance. His numbers didn’t start picking up until the Raiders trailed 21-0 and he started giving a steady diet of completions to tight end Darren Waller (13 receptions for 134 yards). There was a 29-yard TD pass to J.J. Nelson on a flea-flicker pass for the first touchdown. The interception to Harrison Smith should have been thrown away, and set up the score that made it 21-0.
