Quarterback Derek Carr had a stellar first half come undone with a bad decision while scrambling and then Aaron Rodgers took over as the Raiders fell 42-24 to the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field.
Carr, as he did against the Dallas Cowboys two seasons ago, lost the ball out of bounds while reaching for the pylon, resulting in a touchback for the Packers instead of a score for the Raiders.
The Packers made it hurt even worse when Rodgers hit Jake Kumerow over Daryl Worley for a 37-yard touchdown before the half ended. A potential 17-14 lead instead turned into a 21-10 deficit. Kumerow nearly stepped out of bounds at the 5-yard line but the call was upheld upon review.
Rodgers finished 25 of 31 for 429 yards, five touchdowns and a rushing touchdown. Carr, who also threw an end zone interception in the second half, was 22 of 28 for 293 yards and a touchdown and a second-half end zone interception.
The Raiders fall to 3-3 and visit the Houston Texans to close out their epic road swing. Green Bay improved to 6-1 and is in controlof the NFC North.
