After manhandling the Raiders for the majority of the night at Estadio Azteca, the Houston defense committed a pair of costly lapses during the fourth quarter of a stinging 27-20 defeat. The Texans had the Raiders on the ropes for most of the game, but Oakland's Pro Bowl quarterback, Derek Carr, was absolutely clutch in the fourth quarter. A trendy Most Valuable Player candidate, Carr completed 21 of 31 passes for 295 yards, three touchdowns and one interception for a 117.0 passer rating for the Raiders (8-2).
