Carr was in complete control for most of the night, completing 28 of 38 passes for 282 yards. Darren Waller caught 12 of the passes for 103 yards as Carr’s most trusted option. Picking apart the New Orleans defence with short passes, the Raiders controlled the clock and kept Drew Brees and the Saints off the field.
