The Las Vegas Raiders earned a massive victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Many didn't believe they had a chance, but Las Vegas pulled out with a win regardless. It's been a crazy year for this franchise and Derek Carr seems more than proud of his teammates.

According to Fox Sports: NFL, Carr delivered an inspiring message for the Raiders. It's been a rocky season, to say the least, and now Las Vegas finds themselves in playoff contention late in the year. In one moment, it was unthinkable, but this team continues to fight.

The Raiders have gone through the Jon Gruden debacle and the Henry Ruggs mess. Las Vegas has had every reason to give up and count this year as a loss. Instead, Derek Carr has been a phenomenal leader and has kept his team focused on the goal at hand.

What we've seen from Derek Carr this year is rare. Most teams would have fallen flat on their face with the amount of adversity the Raiders have faced. Las Vegas has a legitimate leader on their offense and they should feel great about their playoff chances.

We'll see how it all plays out, as the regular season isn't over yet. The Raiders play the Los Angeles Chargers in their final game of the season. It'll be a tough matchup as both teams are fighting for a spot in the playoffs. Depending on how LA finishes their game against the Denver Broncos, this game could be a win-and-in situation for both franchises.
