The Las Vegas Raiders have struggled to pass the football this season, something that has confused first-year coach Josh McDaniels.

"For us to be able to win at this time of the year and be productive, offensively you have to throw the ball better than what we've thrown at times here in the last month and a half," McDaniels said. "We've been able to win some in spite of that, overall, but clearly, that's not the goal. The goal would be to be more productive than what we've been."

Carr has thrown three-plus interceptions twice this season and has thrown one in five straight games.

"When you don't do your best, you let your team down, let the organization and fans down," Carr said after Saturday's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. "It breaks your heart. At the end of the day, nobody cares. You get back up and keep going."

McDaniels was asked point blank whether he would consider benching Carr for Jarrett Stidham for the final two games. The coach didn't exactly offer a rousing defense of Carr.

"I think there's a possibility that we would do the right thing regardless of the position," McDaniels said.
