The Raiders were unable to get the win , but Carr was not the biggest factor in their loss.
Carr threw for two touchdowns and no interceptions, while having zero support in the rushing game.
Despite all of that, Carr took full responsibility for the team’s loss and vowed to continuing improving as he goes through his rookie season.
“This isn’t my first time losing a game and it’s not my first time dealing with adversity,” Carr said, via CSN Bay Area. “You can put it all on me, because I am going to go ahead and work my tail off and we’re going to fix things.”
It shows a lot of maturity from the Raiders young signal-caller and the attitude that he has is only going to help him gain respect in the huddle from the team’s veterans.
