Derek Carr out indefinitely with broken fibula

After being examined, Carr was reportedly diagnosed with a broken right fibula.

Bruce Irvin said in the post-game that losing Carr to injury felt like losing your best friend.

Quarterback Matt McGloin played the final 11:07 for the Silver and Black in Week 16. Two big starting quarterbacks – Tennessee Titans’ Marcus Mariota and Oakland Raiders’ Derek Carr went down with broken legs and are nearly assuredly out for the season. He waved the trainers on to the field and screamed in pain and laid on the ground.

With the crowd chanting ‘M-V-P!

He was then carted out of the stadium with his leg in an air cast after being examined on the sidelines. Coach Jack Del Rio announced Carr had a broken fibula and was out for the season.

Former NFL team doctor David J. Chao does not give a sunny outlook on Carr’s prospects after seeing the injury.

Carr was 20-of-30 for 228 yards and three touchdowns before he went down.

“We did have an opportunity and didn’t take advantage of it”. Khalil Mack was breathing down Luck’s neck before his interception he threw to Reggie Nelson in the end zone and Bruce Irvin hit him on the release. Pittsburgh can win the AFC North with a victory over the Ravens on Sunday. “Love him. That guy’s an awesome dude”.

Hence, the Raiders have three running backs to lean on for the postseason. And it becomes that much more hard to envision anyone in the AFC preventing the New England Patriots from reaching the Super Bowl.

RUN OFFENSE: A+DeAndre Washington rushed for a career-high 99 yards and his first two National Football League touchdowns. The Raiders then managed to drive 80 yards in the final minute of the half to extend their lead to 19-7. He also only has one touchdown pass in the last two games combined.

Rodgers made the struggles of the early season seem distant. “I think it’s been a testament to everyone in the group”.

No, Carr is probably not going to play on one leg-though, to the 25-year-old’s credit, you never quite know for sure.

“He’s been playing at an MVP level for a number of years”. The Dolphins beat the Bills 34-31. Stranger things have happened and there could be a chance that the Raiders could still make a run but every team in the AFC is now seeing a vulnerable team who lost their best player at the worst time. Janikowski missed the point-after attempt again, marking the first time in his career he botched back-to-back extra points.

Now, they all try to finish a season that was full of promise. Adam Vinatieri’s 42-yard field goal cut the deficit to eight points with 33 seconds remaining.

Oakland had clinched its first playoff berth since 2002 last week.

Either way, Oakland’s home victory in Week 16 offered a lot of lessons about the Raiders’ quest for a playoff run. DeSean Jackson added 114 yards receiving, and Washington (8-6-1) intercepted Matt Barkley five times. Cousins, shaky against Carolina, was 18-for-29 for 270 yards.

Even if Oakland earns the two-seed and the Chiefs find themselves having to play there in the postseason, it’s not a scary game.
