Derek Carr, Raiders get ultimate clowning after choke job vs. Baker Mayfield
Carr #Carr
Bake Mayfield could not have wished for a more glorious debut for the Los Angeles Rams. With the game on the line, the new Rams quarterback took over as he led his team to a highly improbable yet completely astounding 98-yard game-winning drive to upset the Las Vegas Raider on Thursday night.
As much as NFL Twitter sang Mayfield’s praises for his incredible performance, it was the exact opposite for Derek Carr and the Raiders, who themselves just pulled off one of the most mind-blowing choke jobs you’ll ever see. The mean streets of Twitter showed no mercy on Las Vegas:
The Baker Mayfield memes just kept on coming. This man hasn’t even spent enough time with his new team to learn the playbook, but somehow, he led the Rams to a huge win over a hapless Raiders side. NFL Twitter just had to remind Las Vegas about this fact:
The Jeff Saturday references are hilarious too, except, of course, if you’re a Las Vegas fan.
One analyst had to point out how consistent the Raiders have been this season when it comes to giving up big leads:
It’s going to be hard for Derek Carr and the Raiders to pick up the pieces after this deflating loss. This is one of those defeats that are going to stick for a long time — and for good reason.
Las Vegas will be back in action in Week 14 against the 6-6 New England Patriots. The Raiders will definitely want to win that one to get some much-needed confidence back.
