The Las Vegas Raiders' offense has been quite proficient this season.
Even while dealing with important injuries, the unit has performed well through the air and on the ground.
Josh Jacobs has gotten plenty of attention from the national media. The Raiders' star running back deserves it.
That being said, their quarterback has been playing his best ball lately as well. ESPN proved this even further with a graphic earlier this week.
Carr is alongside two MVP candidates in the Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes and Bills' Josh Allen.
Giants' QB Daniel Jones has been playing the best football of his career, so he deserves this recognition as well.
It's elite company for the Raiders' quarterback. Carr has been much more efficient than he was at the start of the season, and the offense is putting up big numbers.
The Raiders are top ten in yards per game with 367.2. More importantly, the Raiders are averaging 27.2 points per game. That's third in the NFL so far this year.
Their balance has clearly put them in the upper echelon of the league for offense.
Unfortunately for Las Vegas, the other teams in the graphic have had more success in the win column this season.
Hopefully, the Raiders can get some more of that in the coming weeks behind Carr and Jacobs.
