Derek Carr Stakes Legitimate MVP Case for Red-Hot Raiders in Win over Panthers

Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, the Oakland Raiders defense surrendered four touchdowns in a 13-minute span. Early in the fourth quarter, the Raiders were devoid of momentum after choking on a 24-7 lead. They couldn't run the ball with any effectiveness, and their star quarterback, Derek Carr, was dealing with an injured finger on his throwing hand. 

Yet the Raiders scored the final 11 points of the game to win 35-32, marking their fifth straight victory and Carr's second fourth-quarter comeback win in a seven-day span.
