Derek Carr wired for sound offers unreal heartbreak

Published: Dec 29, 2016 at 05:07 AM

The saddest moment of the NFL season might be Christmas Eve in Oakland, Derek Carr on the field pointing to a leg he knows just broke.

In an instant, the Raiders went from the NFL's compelling feel-good story of the playoffs to the most frustrating of all fan and organizational sentiments: "What if?"

Carr was wired for sound during Saturday's game against the Colts, and it gives us an incredible look into just how passionate he is about the game, how well he gets along with his teammates, and how quickly Carr knew his season was over.

"It's broke. It's broke. It's broke. It's broke. It's broke."

This is must-see TV for Raiders fans, but fair warning: It is not an easy watch.
