The Las Vegas Raiders’ offense is broken, and there is no excusing it now.
Somehow, someway, an offense that features Josh Jacobs and Davante Adams managed to score a whopping zero points in a 24-0 loss to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.
The reason for the loss? Poor offensive line play, and disgusting quarterback play from Derek Carr.
Behind an offensive line that gave up four sacks for 28 yards, Carr threw for a lackluster 101 yards and one interception before being replaced by backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham, who wasn’t much better (8-for-13 for 72 yards).
It was believed that Las Vegas’ (2-5) poor offensive line play was behind it. Yet, New Orleans took Las Vegas’ lunch money up front all day.
And then Carr, who looked out of it all afternoon, played one of his worst games in regard to moving the ball downfield.
Where the offense went wrong
The Raiders offense didn’t make it past midfield until late in the fourth quarter. But the game was put seemingly out of reach from the second quarter onward.
