Derek Carr and Raiders shut out for first time in eight years
The Raiders didn't have a party in New Orleans.
They were shut out in a 24-0 defeat. According to ESPN's Paul Gutierrez, the Raiders haven't been held scoreless in eight years.
Derek Carr's struggles contributed to the shutout. He threw an interception, was sacked three times, and posted a 50.3 passer rating, his lowest passer rating this season.
Head coach Josh McDaniels pulled Carr in the fourth quarter's final minutes, letting backup Jarett Stidham play instead.
Carr is still adjusting to the new offense. Per Josh Dubow of the Associated Press, this was the third-lowest passer rating in his career.
The Raiders dropped to 2-6, adding to their frustration.
