Raiders Derek Carr issued guarantee after INT vs. Browns I promised wed win if defense got it back

It wasn't exactly in the same stratosphere as what Joe Namath guaranteed, but did make his defense a promise on Monday night. Locked in a critical Week 15 battle with the at FirstEnergy Stadium, and with both teams in a must-win situation to ma sively help their respective odds of making the playoffs, the found themselves facing a potential one-point lo s after backup quarterback engineered a Ben Wallace Jersey 14-play, 80-yard touchdown drive with only four minutes remaining in regulation -- giving the Browns a 14-13 lead.In attempting to reply with a touchdown of his own, Carr dropped back and heaved a throw downfield to speedy wideout , but it was instead intercepted by safety . And there it was, an opportunity for the Browns to potentially bury the Raiders, but only if they could string together some first downs.That's when Carr channeled his inner Namath."After that interception, it was like, 'I Marcus Morris Jersey promise we'll win the game," Carr admitted to telling his defensive counterparts, via . "'Just get it back.'"And so, they did. The subsequent drive by the Browns was quickly uprooted when, on third-and-3, they handed the ball off to (who continually impacted the game en route to 91 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries) and the All-Pro running back was met by defensive lineman for no gain."We expected them to Henry Ellenson Jersey run there," said defensive end . "They did a good job in the second half. Nick Chubb was running that thing hard, but it doesn't surprise me. Hank is one of the best run-stoppers in the league."He always comes up in big moments." The Browns then punted, but never again touched the ball Ersan Ilyasova Jersey afterward. Carr led the Raiders on an eight-play, 41-yard drive that culminated in a game-winning field goal by , a blow made extra potent when factoring in a mi sed 47-yard field goal from Browns kicker in the second quarter that would've changed the entire dynamic of the Raiders final drive.Instead, Carr went on to make good on his promise as Carlson made good on his final kick, and the Raiders are back in the AFC playoff discu sion at 7-7 while the Browns, who were just a few seconds away from sitting in the top spot in their division, fall to the same 7-7 mark, which puts them in Stanley Johnson Jersey last place in the AFC North.
