16. Carr sacked seven times by Packers

Fresh off a bye week, the Oakland Raiders look to keep their two-game winning streak going in Week 7 when they face another tough battle on the road at Lambeau Field against the Green Bay Packers.

Normally, most of the success surrounding the Packers comes from Aaron Rodgers playing at a high level on offense, but so far in 2019, the defense has been able to make a huge difference as well with some solid performances.

With the Raiders coming to town, chances are Derek Carr will be facing heavy pressure throughout the contest, and if the Packers find a way to get through the offensive line with ease, the Oakland quarterback could be in for a rough afternoon.

While coming off a bye week can sometimes give teams an upper hand from a rest perspective, there’s always the chance of them looking a bit rusty as well, which could be the case for the Raiders.

Oakland certainly deserves plenty of credit for their recent winning streak since this team seemed to be heading towards panic mode in the middle of September, but winning in Lambeau Field is never easy.

And with the Packers feeling extra motivated after their big win over the Detroit Lions on Monday, Carr could be feeling sore around this time next week if Green Bay’s defense piles up the sack total.
