![]() Prescott is still a good quarterback and one worthy of leading a franchise. Those are good numbers, but not enough to get Dallas to the next level. Prescott has advanced to the divisional round three times and has lost all three games, completing 62.6% of his passes for 774 yards with five touchdowns and three interceptions for an 88.3 passer rating. The failures in the postseason are tied to the Cowboys, who have 12 straight playoff appearances without making the conference championship game - the longest streak in NFL history. The combined record of opponents the Cowboys have beaten in his two playoff victories is 18-15, which is the lowest opponent win percentage (.545) in playoff wins among the 109 quarterbacks to win multiple postseason games in their career. Prescott has won two playoff games, but those playoff victories haven't exactly been against world beaters. ![]() New Orleans has a top-three defense in yards allowed (314.2) over the last three seasons, despite missing the playoffs twice during that stretch. The Saints are fourth in the NFL in points per game allowed (20.9) over the past five seasons and haven't had a defense ranked below 14th in points or yards per game allowed over that span. The Raiders defense did no favors for Carr, who is getting a complete 180 regarding the Saints' unit. Carr made the playoffs in the one season the Raiders' defense finished in the top 15 in yards allowed (14th in 2021). Instead, he's played with defenses ranking 20th or worse in yards per game allowed in seven of his nine seasons. Carr never played with a defense ranked better than 20th in points per game allowed in his nine seasons with the Raiders. There will be no excuses for Carr if he can't get the job done in New Orleans. ![]() ![]() Derek Carr threw a career-high 3 interceptions on 4 occasions, most recently during the Las Vegas Raiders 13-10 loss against the Pittsburgh Steelers on December 24, 2022.ĭerek Carr had a career-long 41-yard run during the Oakland Raiders 30-14 loss against the Houston Texans on September 14, 2014.ĭerek Carr attempted a career-high 59 passes during the Oakland Raiders 30-24 win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on October 30, 2016.ĭerek Carr completed a career-high 40 passes during the Oakland Raiders 30-24 win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on October 30, 2016.ĭerek Carr compiled a career-high 140.2 passer rating during the Oakland Raiders 24-13 win against the San Francisco 49ers on Decem(minimum 14 pass attempts).ĭerek Carr was sacked a career-high 7 times during the Oakland Raiders 34-3 loss against the San Francisco 49ers on November 1, 2018.ĭerek Carr threw for a career-high 513 yards during the Oakland Raiders 30-24 win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on October 30, 2016.ĭerek Carr rushed the ball a career-high 7 times on 2 occasions, most recently during the Las Vegas Raiders 32-23 win against the Denver Broncos on October 2, 2022.ĭerek Carr rushed for a career-high 1 touchdown on 6 occasions, most recently during the Las Vegas Raiders 26-25 loss against the Miami Dolphins on December 26, 2020.ĭerek Carr rushed for a career-high 58 yards during the Oakland Raiders 30-14 loss against the Houston Texans on September 14, 2014.ĭerek Carr threw a career-high 4 touchdown passes on 6 occasions, most recently during the Oakland Raiders 45-42 win against the Cleveland Browns on September 30, 2018.Will Carr have the effect on the Saints that Matthew Stafford had with the Los Angeles Rams two years ago?
