What happened to the Raiders' offense in disastrous 1st half?

The Oakland Raiders averaged 35.5 points per game through their first two contests and appeared poised to light the AFC on fire this season.

It may have been a mirage, however, as their offense completely disappeared during the first half of Sunday's game against the Washington Redskins.

Derek Carr threw two indefensible interceptions during the opening two quarters, a far cry from the seamless poise in the pocket he's exhibited throughout his pro career. He wasn't helped by his receivers, however, with Amari Cooper particularly culpable for an open-field drop.

Jared Cook led the Raiders with one catch for a paltry nine yards.

The running game didn't fare much better, with Marshawn Lynch held to 13 yards on five carries.

A similarly suspect performance from the defense helped the Washington Redskins take a 14-0 lead at the half.
