What is Derek Carr's playoff record? Exploring Saints QB’s wins and losses

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr has been in the NFL for 11 years. Despite his good regular-season stats, his postseason performance presents a more complex story.

Carr had to wait until his third season in the league before he achieved his first winning season after being selected by the Las Vegas Raiders as the 36th overall pick in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft.

Carr helped the Raiders to a 12-4 record in 2016, which allowed the team to earn a postseason berth for the first time since 2002. However, it was determined that the star quarterback would be out for weeks after suffering a fibula fracture in Week 16.

Connor Cook started for Las Vegas in the first round of the playoffs that year due to Carr's injury. Carr was reportedly going to make a comeback if the Raiders made it to Super Bowl LI, but their season ended when they were defeated 27–14 by the Houston Texans in the wild-card round.

It wasn't until the 2021 season, after they finished with a 10-7 record, that Carr and the Raiders advanced to another playoff game.
