Las Vegas Raiders’ most recent loss against Baker Mayfield led Los Angeles Rams on Thursday Night made them the first team to blow four double digit halftime leads in a season. Safe to say that a season full of misery has just gone bad to worse.
Previously Las Vegas Raiders to a side whose coach had just left his ESPN analyst-job and had no coaching experience. This week they have lost to a team whose several marquee players have been placed on the IR and were in fact being led by the former #1 pick, who was waived off by the Carolina Panthers.
On the same note, sports media personality – Nick Wright couldn’t hold himself back as he went onto suggest that this loss for the Raiders is just a new mean/method in which they have suffered another loss.

What’s even worst? According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Mayfield’s longest go-ahead TouchDown drive that began in the final two minutes over last 45 seasons in the NFL.
“It’s tough. There’s really cool stories and cool moments for some guys. I’m sure Baker will have that moment for the rest of his life,” Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr said, as per US News, as he couldn’t sink of what had just happened in the game on Thursday. “It’s frustrating, but it’s not something that we are talking about like, ‘Hey, this is a big opportunity,’ because of this.”
To precisely talk about Carr’s stats against the Rams – the 31-year-old QB was 11 of 20 for 137 yards and two interceptions. His 36.9 passer rating was the lowest of his nine-year career.
