VIDEO: Derek Carr Booed off Field by Raiders Fans After Final Home Game in Oakland
By Scott Rogust
The Raiders held their final home game in the city of Oakland on Sunday ahead of their move to Las Vegas in 2020. Facing the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Raiders looked to be heading to a win, as they held a 16-6 lead in the fourth quarter. Yet, the team failed to maintain their momentum, and ultimately succumbed to the Jaguars 20-16. After the game, quarterback Derek Carr headed towards the exit tunnel at Oakland-Almeda County Coliseum, and was greeted by a chorus of boos.

This is certainly not how Carr was hoping to leave his final game in Oakland.
Granted, this all wasn't his fault, as the signal caller had a respectable 267 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions on Sunday. Yet, good stat-lines aren't going to ease the pain.
Wow..Derek Carr booed off field.

The fairy tale ending for Oakland was supposed to be capped off for a feel-good win before moving to Sin City.
Despite entering the quarter with a 10-point lead, the Raiders managed to whiff on a field goal and hand possession back over to the Jags, who marched down the field for a game-winning touchdown.
It's easy to see why Raider Nation is less than thrilled right about now.
