Raiders' Carr: Bosa pissed me off with comments after MNF
Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr wasn't impressed by what he heard from Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa following their Week 4 matchup.
The Chargers handed the Raiders their first loss of the season on Monday Night Football, and Bosa disparaged Carr's toughness afterward, saying the signal-caller "kind of shuts down" under pressure.
"He did piss me off, so good job on that," Carr said Wednesday when asked about Bosa's comments, according to Jesse Merrick of KSNV News 3. "But there's nothing wrong with that."
Carr added: "He's entitled to that opinion and saying those things, but it's almost like he watched the game in reverse. ... we came out and fought a little bit after they got after us a little bit up front ... But we'll see them again, and he's entitled to say that. He's a great player, great dude. I just don't think he watched the game in the same order I did."
Carr's teammates apparently took Bosa's comments more seriously than the signal-caller did.
"They are so mad for me," Carr said, according to ESPN's Paul Gutierrez.
Despite tossing a season-low 196 yards against Los Angeles, Carr still leads the NFL with 1,399 yards through four games. The 30-year-old has notched 64 dropbacks under pressure this season, completing 44.9% of his pass attempts while throwing for 373 yards (7.6 per attempt) and three touchdowns to two interceptions in those situations, according to PFF.
Bosa, 26, has racked up 11 tackles and 2.5 sacks to go along with a league-leading two forced fumbles so far.
The Raiders and Chargers face off again in the final week of the regular season on Jan. 9 in Las Vegas.
