It was announced on Wednesday that the Las Vegas Raiders would be benching quarterback Derek Carr. He hasn't played well, and the Raiders are still in the hunt for the postseason. Carr had incentives in his contract if he got injured, so with his performance and to avoid his getting hurt, Las Vegas has shut him down for the remainder of the regular season.
Raiders are benching Derek Carr and turning to Jarrett Stidham as their new starting QB.
Carr has thrown a league-leading 14 interceptions- including three Saturday night during a 13-10 loss to the Steelers.
Stidham has thrown only 61 passes and never has started an NFL game. pic.twitter.com/IJa1LfYGXT
