After Del Rio left the Raiders' offense on the field for that fourth-and-3 play late in the third quarter, Musgrave dialed up a call that had Crabtree and Cooper running short slants past the first-down marker. Carr surveyed the line of scrimmage, saw the Chargers' defensive alignment and decided he'd take his chances going up top to Crabtree against single-coverage, despite some previous misfires on Sunday.
"Derek calls it based on what he sees," Musgrave explained after the game. "Nice call, Derek."
Suffice it to say that Musgrave -- and Del Rio -- might not have been quite as enthusiastic about the audible as the ball was in the air.
"Oh man, it was (up there) a longgg time," Carr said. "That's one Coach (Musgrave) will be a little upset at me for. He wanted a slant. I wanted him to go deep. I just felt it. I'm sure when he saw that ball leave my hand, he was like, 'What are you thinking?'"
Admitted Musgrave: "We'd already thrown two or three fades out of bounds... Oh well, he's the man on the field. You've just gotta go with it."
"It was like, 'No, no, no, no -- yeaaaahhhh,'" Del Rio said, laughing. "At the end of the day, I really felt like it was the right thing to do."
