A rough afternoon for TJ Carrie apparently included a missed assignment on Green Bay s go-ahead score. (Nhat V. Meyer/Bay Area News Group)
The Green Bay Packers go-ahead touchdown pass, a 30-yard toss to James Jones, saw the former Raiders receiver break wide open and create an easy completion for Aaron Rodgers.
Raiders coach Jack Del Rio called it a blown coverage, while cornerback David Amerson elaborated.
The guys got confused, Amerson said. We had guys moving from nickel to safety to corner and everything. It was a guy in the wrong spot. He forgot he was supposed to be at safety.
That would appear to be TJ Carrie, who was lined up in the slot on the play leaving only Woodson deep in coverage. Amerson was lined up on Jones on the outside and let him pass him deep expecting coverage.
It didn t help that they were going hurry-up, so guys really weren t on the same page, Amerson said. That s all it takes for one play.
Carrie had a rough afternoon overall, picking up two pass interference penalties and also getting run over by Randall Cobb on a second-and-17 play that picked up 19 yards for a first down. He declined to speak to the media afterwards.
