Derek Carr got emotional during his postgame press conference on Sunday following the team’s crushing loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Carr appeared to cry as he was talking to reporters and appeared to be upset over yet another loss.
“I’m just pissed off about some of the things, you know, that a lot of us try and do just to practice. What we put our bodies through, just to sleep at night. And for that to be the result of all that effort, pisses me off. Pisses a lot of guys off. It’s hard, knowing what some guys are doing … just to practice. What they’re putting in their body just to sleep at night. Just so we can be there for each other. And I wish everybody in that room felt the same way about this place. And as a leader, that pisses me off, if I’m being honest.”
Head coach Josh McDaniels was asked about Carr’s comments and he stated he “didn’t have any issue with the effort” of any players.
Carr was 24-for-38 with 248 passing yards and two touchdowns. One touchdown pass went to Davante Adams and the other was to Foster Moreau. Adams finished with nine catches for 126 yards and Moreau had three catches for 43 yards.
Sunday’s game was the sixth one-score loss of the season for the Raiders. The Raiders dropped to 2-7 on the season.
They currently have the second-worst record in the NFL, ahead of only the Texans at 1-7-1.
