looks like Chiefs may have been sleeping, but still a good win for the Vegas Boys.

Marred by a three-game losing streak, Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr ignored fans calling for him to be benched and turned to words of wisdom from his disgraced ex-coach Jon Gruden.
Carr desperately needed a strong performance against the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving, and he delivered, leading the Raiders to an overtime victory on the big stage. After the win, Carr told reporters he leaned on advice from his former coach.
“Gruden used to tell me, ‘don’t ever take your arm out of a game,’ so when we call these things, let’s rip em,” Carr said, referring to the need to stay aggressive with their vertical game.
Gruden and the Raiders parted ways last month, after leaked emails showed the head coach using racist, sexist and homophobic language between 2011 and 2018. Rich Bisaccia took over as head coach of the Raiders after Gruden’s unceremonious exit.
But Carr listened to the old advice of his former coach on Thursday, the quarterback stayed aggressive and relied on his arm during a shootout with Cowboys star Dak Prescott, converting 24 of 39 passes for 373 yards.
Carr takes a lot of shit from fans and outsiders.
I think he is a decent QB, a lot of teams would be lucky to have him.
Redskins, Lions, Broncos (Not Sold on Teddy), Texans (No Watson), Saints (Would be Nice)
