Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr came up with his worst performance of the season on Thursday night in Kansas City, and naturally, people wondered if his injured finger play a role.

Carr refused to blame that injury, however, saying it was simply one of those nights.

Derek Carr, "it wasn't the finger." Added he had a bad night and it was a real bad time to have a bad night

— James Palmer (@JamesPalmerTV) December 9, 2016

It’s worth noting that Carr suffered his finger injury two weeks ago now, and he beat Buffalo in spite of it. He’s said everything is fine with it as well. Kansas City is a very good team. As he said, it was a terrible time to have a game with a 41.7 QB rating, but the finger may not have been the biggest reason.
