INDIANAPOLIS — The Raiders dropped their fourth straight game in a 40-6 blowout loss to the Colts on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium.
It was a disappointing and discouraging performance from top to bottom.
Here are six Raiders that either helped or hurt the cause in the loss:
Hurt
Coach Pete Carroll
Carroll, for the second time in as many road games, did not have his team ready to play. The Raiders suffered another crushing defeat as a result, just like they did in their 41-24 loss at Washington in Week 3.
All three phases played poorly against the Colts. That’s a reflection on Carroll, who had high expectations entering his first season with the Raiders.
“I’m processing it poorly, to tell you the truth,” Carroll said. “Because I did expect to win right out of the chutes.”
