Derek Carr Groin Injury | NFL Week 15

First and goal, now third and goal. What is it? [Applause] And you don't need me to tell you what that looked like. He was, I think, caught between deciding to run it in or drop it off, and then he grabs his left groin. Yeah, he sure does, and that is the last thing anyone wanted to see from him right here. Joe, I thought he was going to take it. I thought he could have, if he had been a little more decisive. I thought he could have gotten it in. Maybe he felt something even before he pulled up.
