Chargers head coach Brandon Staley called a controversial timeout late in OT on Sunday Night Football.
Meanwhile, Carr told NBC's Michele Tafoya the Chargers' timeout"definitely" changed the Raiders' approach, but added that they primarily wanted to win the game.
"Yeah, it definitely did, obviously," Carr said."But we knew, no matter what, we didn't want a tie. We wanted to win the football game. "My mindset all day, I was even texting with Aaron Rodgers this morning, was to make sure we were the only team moving on after this.""I don't think it changed their mindset because they were gonna the run the ball on the play before and then they ran the ball the very next play," Staley said."So wanted to make sure we got our run defense in there, and we obviously didn't execute well enough.
Staley caught a considerable amount of criticism for his timeout, but as he noted, Las Vegas was likely going to run the ball on that key third down regardless. The biggest question really is whether the Raiders would have still attempted a field goal if they didn't pick up a big gain on that key third down. Had the Chargers held Jacobs to a minimal gain or even no gain at all, would the Raiders still have sent out Carlson or just let the clock run out?Copyright RSN
