Stidham byes time and finds Adams for a 60-yard TD (0:30)

The quarterback took a hit and threw a 60-yard touchdown pass to Davante Adams. It was 0: 30.

11:11 PM ET

After his first career start, in which he passed for 361 yards and three touchdown, he apologized to his teammates.

He apologized for the Raiders' 37-34 overtime loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Everyone on the team said, 'Get out of here with that.' "You did your thing, you balled out and you did your thing,'" said Raiders receiver Davante Adams, who was on the receiving end of seven Stidham passes.

It could have been a dream situation for him if we had found a way to help him.

The Raiders were officially eliminated from the playoffs after they fell to 6-10 with their fifth blown lead of at least 10 points.

The first pick off was at the line of scrimmage, and the second in OT was caused by left tackle Kolton Miller bumping into the quarterback as he was being sacked by Nick Bosa.

Carr will not be on the team for the final two weeks of the season after being benched on Wednesday.

While Carr never looked comfortable in first-year coach Josh McDaniels' system, it's the only scheme he has known since being drafted by New England in 2019.

The players were learning the scheme during the mini camp, according to the tight end.

"Jarrett was pointing guys in different directions and was operating with confidence back then," said Waller, who caught three passes for 72 yards, including a 24 yard touchdown

He knows everything, so he didn't have to change anything. He was able to do everything we've been doing.

The New York Jets' Mike White became the second quarterback since 1950 to have at least 350 passing yards and three passing touchdown in his first career start, in Week 8 of the 2021.

The 243 yards Todd Marinovich threw for against the Kansas City Chiefs in the 1991 regular-season finale was the most passing yards ever by a Raiders quarterback.

The Raiders lost that day as well.

"I just wanted to go out there and have fun," he said. Find a way to win by trying and facilitating the offense. We just didn't get it done.

It's difficult to end that way, but we're all on the same page on how to finish the year.

He said he didn't change his game plan much when he switched from Carr to the other side of the country.

The same opportunity will be given to whoever plays quarterback for us. They had the same opportunities if they learned the system and used it correctly. The game isn't completely different today than it would have been. I think Jarrett took advantage of the opportunities he was given.

With Carr almost certain to leave for another team next season, rumors have begun that the team will try to sign another veteran quarterback.

While the Tom Brady and Jimmy Garoppolo storylines will heat up, the front office may have gotten something else to chew on.

Josh Jacobs said that he balled. He hit the ball. He was calm and collected in the huddle.

"For him to go out there and do what he did, I feel like that's speaking to his campaign as 'The Guy'."

The defense was impressed by what they saw.

Maxx Crosby saidJarrett played off. Looking forward to him playing off next week.

It's cool to see a guy like him, he's super fired up and talking. I have a lot of admiration for him.

The Raiders were expected to return to the playoffs after finishing 10-7 last year and making improvements to the roster. His willingness to take hits and extend plays with his legs won over his teammates.

He threw a 60-yard touchdown pass to Adams, one of Carr's closest friends, and it was a big reason he came to Las Vegas.

Adams said that he found a void in the defense and was able to get behind it. He threw it after sticking in there.

The man had blood between his teeth when he greeted me on the sideline. You want your quarterback to be that way. I'm happy for him. He's a tough person. He sticks in there because he isn't the big guy. He is going to find a way to get it done.
