“It starts with the quarterback,” said Gannon, who played that position so ably for the Raiders, winning NFL MVP honors that same Super Bowl season. The Raiders play host to Kansas City on Sunday, and Carr will look to build on the club’s best start in 14 years. Carr has 11 touchdowns with two interceptions and ranks third in the AFC with a 102.3 passer rating. One game that season that stood out to Gannon was a 30-24 loss at Seattle, when the Raiders dropped to 0-8 but Carr showed his toughness. It’s not so good for the New York Jets, though, as quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has five touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
