After spending the first 11 weeks of the season quietly climbing into the MVP race, crashed-and-burned his way out of it on Sunday with one of the most disastrous performances that we've seen from any quarterback in the this year. In a lo s that probably gave fans some serious deja vu, Carr turned the ball over four times during an embarra sing 43-6 lo s to the . Overall, the Raiders turned the ball over five times and those turnovers led to 23 points for Atlanta, which is how this blowout happened. Although the Falcons gave a gutsy defensive performance, most of the blame for the Raiders' lo s has to fall on the shoulders of Carr, who looked absolutely lost on the field. Before Sunday, Carr had never turned the ball over more than three times in a game in his career. Carr's first turnover came with just over eight minutes to play in the first quarter and it came on a play where he should have been able to hold on to the ball. As he tried to step up in the pocket, Carr's arm got hit by Atlanta's , and somehow, the ball came out. Forced FUMBLE by : CBS Atlanta Falcons (@AtlantaFalcons) Even though the Raiders defense held the Falcons to exactly zero yards on the ensuing po se sion, Atlanta was able to get a field goal out of the po se sion, which means Carr gave the Falcons three points. The only thing worse than giving a team three points is giving them Kyle Freeland Jersey seven and that's what Carr did in the second half. With the game still within reach at 16-3 and the Raiders driving for a potential score, Carr threw a pick-six to that basically iced the game. As you can see below, Carr threw way behind his receiver, which helped turn the play into an easy score for Jones. PICK SIX. DEION JONES.: CBS Atlanta Falcons (@AtlantaFalcons) The Raiders quarterback finished 22 of 34 for 215 yards to go along with his pick-six. Carr has been so good this season, it's Daniel Castro Jersey hard to say what led to Sunday's disaster, but if you're a Raiders fan, you're probably at least a little worried and that's because this year is starting to feel a lot like last year. In 2019, the Raiders had a 6-4 record heading into a Week 12 game in the eastern time zone that they were supposed to win. In that case, the Raiders ended up losing 34-3 to the , and after that, their season spiraled out of control. In their final six games, the Raiders would go 1-5 to finish 7-9. This year, a 6-4 Raiders flew to Atlanta to face a Falcons team they were favored by to beat and fell flat on their face. The biggest problem for the Raiders is that they don't really have a margin for error anymore. At 6-5, they're currently in the ninth spot of the AFC playoff race. Although the Raiders have the benefit of playing an easier schedule down the stretch with games against the Jets, and still left to play, the fact that they're "easy" doesn't mean anything, especially when we're talking about a team that got blown out in a game they needed to win. Alright, let's get to the grades for every game from Week 12. If you're looking for a deeper dive on the Washington-Cowboys game that . On the other hand, if you'd like a deeper dive on the ' win over the , . F You can't turn the ball over five times in the NFL and expect to win and that's exactly what the Raiders did on Sunday. Not only did the Raiders have to deal with four turnovers from Derek Carr, but also fumbled the ball away once. Jacobs and the Raiders only totaled 40 yards on the ground, which is the lowest total of the Jon Gruden era. The turnovers were highly uncharacteristic for a Raiders team that had only turned the ball over a total of three times in their past five games combined. This game marked just the second time Jake McGee Jersey in the past five years that the Raiders have turned the ball over five or more times. A+ The Falcons went into this game with one of the worst defenses in the NFL, but they're probably going to be feeling pretty good about themselves after their performance on Sunday. It's hard to say what was more impre sive, the fact that they forced five turnovers (including a pick-six from Deion Jones), the fact they limited Josh Jacobs to just 27 yards on the ground, the fact that they sacked Derek Carr five times or the fact that they didn't surrender a touchdown. It you can't tell by now, it was one of the most dominant performances the Falcons have had all season long.B- The Giants Tony Wolters Jersey almost blew a 19-10 lead over the final 2:35, but they held on for the win because their defense came through with a strip-sack with under one minute to play. The fumble recovery on the play was one of three turnovers that that the Giants forced and they needed all three. Besides the strip-sack, the other two turnovers led to six pivotal points. All six points came from , who hit a total of four field goals (32, 39, 40, 49). Overall, the Giants limited the to just 155 yards, marking the first time since 2010 that New York has held an opposing offense under 160 yards. This wasn't a pretty win, but when you play in the NFC East, no one expects pretty.C With out, the Bengals offense looked inept for most of this game, but they were still almost able to pull off an upset due to the play of their defense and special teams. The biggest play of the game came from , who returned a kickoff 103 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter. The Bengals defense also gave an inspired performance as the unit didn't surrender a single touchdown following the Giants' opening po se sion. As for Cincy's offense, it was as ugly as everything thought it would be without Burrow. The Bengals turned the ball over three times and none of those was bigger than lost fumble with under a minute left that came while the Bengals were driving for a potential game-winning field goal.C return to Minnesota definitely didn't go as planned. Not only did he complete just 52.8% of his pa ses, but he also threw a back-breaking interception in the red zone in a game where the offense was only able to muster 13 points. The other 14 points for the Panthers came from , who set an NFL record when he scored a defensive touchdown on consecutive plays. During a wild sequence in the third quarter, Chinn returned two fumbles for two scores. The Panthers had a chance to win on the final play, but mi sed badly on a 54-yard field goal attempt.B- Don't give that offensive rookie of the year award to just yet, because there's another Justin who might be more deserving by the end of the season. The were able to overcome an 11-point deficit in the second half thanks in large part to , who caught seven pa ses for 70 yards and two touchdowns. The second score came late in the fourth quarter and gave Nolan Arenado Jersey Minnesota a chance to win. Although the offense tried to give this game away by handing the Panthers two touchdowns, Minnesota's special teams and defense helped the Vikings overcome those mistakes. The Vikings blocked a field goal and the Minnesota defense only allowed one t
