Oakland Raiders head coach Jack Del Rio wasn't trying to cover for anyone following his team's 26-15 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in a pivotal battle for the rights to the AFC West, with both teams entering with 6-6 records.

Jack Del Rio on Derek Carr's performance: "He's the trigger man of our offense. Our offense didn't get done what it needed to get done today." 69 pass yards in first three quarters.

Del Rio put the onus on quarterback Derek Carr's performance, as he threw for just 69 yards through the first three quarters of the game. The Raiders trailed 26-0 after the third quarter, scoring all 15 of their points with the game already decided in the fourth.

Carr finished the day going 24-for-41 for 211 passing yards, with one touchdown and two interceptions.

They'll return home to host the Dallas Cowboys next Sunday night.
