If the Oakland Raiders can't get their offense out of a recent rut Mecole Hardman Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys , their playoff chances will end even before they play their final scheduled game at the Coliseum.What was one of the NFL's most efficient offenses over a long stretch that moved the Raiders into contention in the AFC West has struggled to get moving the past few weeks, leading to lopsided losses against the New York Jets and Kansas City."We've had a rough two weeks," Carr said Wednesday. "I've had a rough two weeks. It's time to get back on track, it's time to get back in our stadium, it's time to be efficient on offense, it's time to win. ... That's the beautiful thing about this game. You rewind two weeks ago, we were the greatest story in the NFL and two weeks later we suck again, so I think we'll be all right."The Raiders (6-6) need to get things fixed immediately. They enter the homestretch of the season one game behind Tennessee and Pittsburgh for the final wild-card spot in the AFC. A victory at home Sunday against the Titans would go a long way to getting things back on track this week.Starting with the second half of a 17-10 win against Cincinnati on Nov. 17, Oakland went 24 straight drives without reaching the end zone before finally breaking through in garbage time of a 40-9 loss to the Chiefs last week.The nine straight quarters without a touchdown matched the longest drought for the franchise since 2008 and was a stark difference with how efficient Carr and the offense had been for most of the season.Starting with a victory in Indianapolis in Week 4 and continuing through a home win against the Chargers in Week 10, the Raiders led the NFL in yards per play (6.34) and ranked sixth in points per drive (2.35) thanks to a strong running game led by rookie Josh Jacobs and efficient performances from Carr and the mostly unheralded receivers in the passing game.While Jacobs has mostly maintained his strong play in recent weeks, the passing game has stalled and the Raiders rank 18th in the league in yards per play (5.14) and last in points per drive (0.85) over the past three weeks."Our execution has not been good enough at all Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys Stitched ," Carr said. "Like executing the plays to every detail hasn't been good enough at all. Turning the ball over myself. I don't do that. I don't want to do that. Never been something I've wanted to do or been a part of my game and so it doesn't matter how it happened or why it happened, it happened, and we have to eliminate the turnovers and that starts with me."Carr hasn't gotten a whole lot of help from his receivers, who struggled to hold onto the ball against the Jets and get open against the Chiefs. Slot receiver Hunter Renfrow injured his ribs against the Jets and has been sidelined.Oakland also cut receiver Trevor Davis this week and is trying to find an effective combination out wide after coach Jon Gruden said he might "shake" things up this week. Tyrell Williams has been a starter all season when healthy but the other spot has rotated with Zay Jones, Keelan Doss, Marcell Ateman and Rico Gafford all possibly getting into the mix this week."We're in the process of shaking," Gruden said. "That's one of the reasons why we changed practice venues again. You know we've had to change gears a lot. It's an impact on us, and how we game plan, and how we call plays, and how we adjust. So, we'll get to the bottom of that here tonight Mecole Hardman black jersey , but we plan on shaking things up just a little bit yes."NOTES: The Raiders held a indoor walk-through on a rainy Wednesday. Jacobs (shoulder), T Trent Brown (pectoral) and LB Kyle Wilber (ankle) would not have been able to participate if they had practiced. ... Gruden said he's hopeful Renfrow can return for the final game or two. The catch that Larry Fitzgerald secured late in the fourth quarter against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday did nothing to change the outcome: another loss for Arizona in a season full of them.It was hardly meaningless to the veteran wide receiver.The catch moved Fitzgerald past Terrell Owens into second place on the NFL's career reception yardage list. He finished the Cardinals' 26-14 loss to the Chiefs with six catches for 50 yards, giving him 15,952 yards 鈥?behind only Hall of Fame wide receiver Jerry Rice."It happens to be Terrell Owens and I'm pretty close with T.O. His friendship and my relationship with him is invaluable to me," Fitzgerald said afterward. "He means a great deal to me, and to be mentioned in the same breath with him means a lot to me."The biggest lament for Fitzgerald, though, was that the yardage he needed came when the outcome was decided. He was shut out on three targets in the first half as the Chiefs took a 20-7 lead."It's always important for us to try to get our good players involved, and we try to do it a little early. We didn't have an opportunity there," Cardinals coach Steve Wilks said. "He didn't have any catches, rather Mecole Hardman Jersey Mens , so we came out in the second half really trying to find ways to get him the football."By the time the Cardinals did, it was too late.Perhaps that was fitting considering Fitzgerald has pieced together one of the finest careers in NFL history relatively quietly, with some of his best seasons coming in the Cardinals' worst years. The 35-year-old Fitzgerald has had at least 100 receptions each of the past three seasons, and five times in his career, while piling up nine seasons with at least 1,000 yards receiving.He has 40 catches for 407 yards and two touchdowns this season.And while Fitzgerald is almost certain to fall short of the numbers he is accustomed to producing, he is nevertheless providing another year of invaluable service: He's the steady, capable and wise veteran in the ear of Josh Rosen, who is expected to lead the Cardinals for years to come.The rookie quarterback had plenty of bright spots Sunday, even though he was sacked five times and threw a pair of costly interceptions. He threw a touchdown pass to David Johnson, kept the offense moving Mecole Hardman Jersey Cheap , and did a fair job of checking out of plays that were bound to go nowhere.He also made sure to find Fitzgerald down the stretch, ensuring he'd get his meaningful yardage."It's frustrating that it comes in another loss," Fitzgerald said, "but I think, offensively, we're on the field a lot more. Would have loved to have more points, but it's another step in the right direction. Almost 30 minutes of possession time, so I mean, we're on the field. We were better on third down today. But there's things we need to clean up."There are goals for Fitzgerald and the Cardinals (2-7) the rest of the way, too.Fitzgerald needs eight more receptions to pass Rice (1,281 with San Francisco) for the most in NFL history with one team. And the Cardinals can prove they're moving in the right direction under Wilks with a strong finish against a relatively tough schedule.The Raiders are next Carlos Hyde Jersey , but games against the Packers, Falcons, Chargers, Seahawks and Rams loom.Plenty of chances for Fitzgerald to add to his lasting legacy."This is something I'll think about when I'm done playing. I can look back and reflect on it at a later time, but today is not the day," he said. "It's nice to be able to do that with the same team, to have so many wonderful teammates that continue to fight regardless of our record. I know we're 2-7, but I love coming to work and playing for these coaches and playing with my teammates."It's a great group of men," he said, "and we just want to get it right."
