NEW ORLEANS (AP) Derek Carr's deep third-down pa s bounced off Mack Hollins' hands and into the the Las Vegas bench area on the Raiders' opening po se sion in New Orleans on Sunday. That might have been the Raiders best chance to get anything going on a miserable afternoon for Carr and coach Josh McDaniels. Carr never guided Las Vegas acro s midfield before being pulled with 3:33 left in the Raiders 24-0 lo s to the Saints. He was sacked three times and finished 15 of 26 for 101 yards the lowest output of his nine-year career for a game he did not leave early with an injury.The 31-year-old Carr now has his lowest quarterback rating since 2017 at 86.8.This is embarra sing, he said. We cant have that. That should never happen, especially with the group of Babe Ruth Jersey guys in that locker room. We are so much better than that.The Raiders (2-5) hired McDaniels, Tom Bradys offensive coordinator for 11 years in two stints with the New England Patriots, in January in part to get the most out of Carr, the franchises career leader in yards pa sing, completions and touchdowns.Despite those numbers, the Raiders reached the playoffs for only the second time with Carr last season, losing at Cincinnati in the wild-card round.The McDaniels-Carr marriage has not produced results yet. After losing four of their first six games by Chipper Jones Jersey a total of 14 points, the Raiders hit bottom in the Big Easy. It was the first time Carr has been shut out since a 51-0 lo s to the then-St. Louis Rams during his rookie year. The Saints (3-5), who had allowed the second-most points per game (28.6) in the NFL, blanked an opponent at home for the first time since 2012.There was a litany of things, McDaniels said. They mixed their coverages up pretty well. It wasnt all just zone or Cover 2 or anything like that. They challenged us today. When you are behind the sticks as we were a number of times, they can pin their ears back and rush.Carr did not get much help. Josh Jacobs, who had rushed for more than 140 yards in each of the past three games, managed just 43 on Eddie Mathews Jersey 10 carries while the Raiders chased a mounting deficit. Wide receiver Davante Adams, who was ill, caught one pa s for 3 yards while being targeted five times. Tight end Darren Waller, who caught 12 pa ses for 105 yards and a touchdown against the Saints two years ago, mi sed his second consecutive game with a hamstring injury. Nothing worked. The Raiders reached their own 48 on their second po se sion before a false start penalty, a Carr pa s under pre sure that hit an offensive lineman in the back and another throw under dure s that was nowhere close to a receiver. After New Orleans went ahead 7-0 on Alvin Kamaras 3-yard touchdown run with 1:36 left in the first quarter, Matthias Farley lost 3 yards on a fake punt from the Las Vegas 45 that McDaniels called one play after Adams was stuffed on an end-around on third-and-1.Theres always an opportunity to do that in the kicking game depending on the look, McDaniels said. Most teams are doing that nowadays. Obviously it didnt Danny Santana Jersey work out in our favor. It comes down to execution, and they obviously did a better job than we did."That failure set up a Saints field goal, and Carr threw an interception at the Raiders 45 on the next series, leading to another Kamara touchdown. His pa s to Hunter Renfrow was deflected by linebacker Pete Werner and caught by safety Tyrann Mathieu. I was waiting on the window and tried to sneak it behind the guy, and (Werner) got his hands on it and tipped it, Carr said. There are so many things that happened. Im not worried. Kamaras third touchdown on the Saints' opening drive of the second half accounted for the final margin. The Blank Jersey Raiders will have plenty of time to think about their i sues away from home. Instead of returning to Las Vegas, they are flying to Jacksonville and will spend a week in Florida before playing the Jaguars next Sunday. One thing I know about our team is weve responded the right every time theres been challenges, Carr said. We have a great opportunity to be together all week. Well see what we can do. Its going to be an amazing challenge to see how we respond.___More AP NFL: hub/nfl and AP_NFL in this topic
