felt pressure from Melvin Ingram and threw the ball at the feet of Jalen Richard
when no one was open.The problem for the Oakland Raiders was that play came on
fourth down.Far more went into the fifth straight loss for the Raiders than that
one botched play in the fourth quarter of a 20-6 loss to the Los Angeles
Chargers on Sunday, but it was symbolic of how frustrating things have become
for the Raiders."We had a play designed for Jalen versus their coverage and they
just covered it well," Carr said. "I wish I had a better answer but they did.
Stuff happens."Plenty of bad has happened to the Raiders this season in the
first year of Jon Gruden's second stint as coach of the franchise. Star pass
rusher Khalil Mack was traded a week before the start of the season, No. 1
receiver Amari Cooper was dealt away last month and the losses keep mounting.The
Raiders (1-8) are off to the third-worst start in franchise history, trailing
only the 0-10 mark in Carr's rookie season of 2014 and an 0-13 mark in 1962
�one year before Al Davis joined the franchise as coach and then owner."This
will be a year that a lot of us will never forget," Gruden said. "It's painful.
It's really hard. It's painful. It's going to be hard to sleep again, hard to
get up in the morning."The stretch the Raiders are currently on is as bad as any
they've had in 59 seasons as a professional team. They have lost five straight
by at least 14 points for the first time ever and are one 14-point loss shy of
tying the single-season record for the most by any team since the merger.Oakland
has been outscored 75-9 in the past nine quarters and was held without a TD in
consecutive games for the first time since 2012.About the only thing left this
season is determining whether the Raiders will have the No. 1 pick in next
year's draft."Every day we go out there we give it our all," rookie defensive
tackle Maurice Hurst said. "We don't prepare the way we do to tank. That's
annoying to hear from fans. It's disrespectful."This game didn't start off as
poorly as the last few for the Raiders. They drove down to the 1 on the opening
drive, thanks in part to a 42-yard run by punter Johnny Townsend on a
fake.Gruden went for it on fourth down and called for a shovel pass to receiver
Dwayne Harris who was going in motion across the formation. But Derwin James
read the play and stopped it for no gain."That play should be second-guessed
because it didn't work," Gruden said. "But that wasn't the plan. That wasn't the
plan."The Raiders were outgaining the Chargers 165-6 early in the second quarter
when they faced a third down at the 21, leading 3-0. Melvin Ingram then beat
Kelechi Osemele off the line and came in unblocked for a strip sack that set up
the Chargers' first score and turned the tide of the game.That was one of four
sacks taken by
Carr

Caleb Sturgis Jersey , whose 28 sacks are the fourth most by a Raiders QB
through nine games and three shy of his career worst.Los Angeles then scored TDs
on the final possession of the first half and the first of the second half, and
the Raiders were forced to play catch-up to no avail.They settled for another
field goal on a red-zone trip before Carr's throwaway in the fourth quarter
ended their third red-zone possession without a touchdown."When we are down
there, we just got to get in and score touchdowns," Richard said. "That's the
only way you can win this game. There is only so many teams that you are going
to be able to beat by just kicking field goals." LOS ANGELES CHARGERS (3-2) at
