OAKLAND, Calif. -- Derek Carr has been at his best in clutch situations this season for the Oakland Raiders, leading two late comebacks to help fuel the teams best start since 2002.The season has gotten off to the opposite kind of start in San Diego, where the Chargers have led all four games at the two-minute warning only to lose three of those in the closing minutes.So while the Raiders (3-1) come into their first division game of the season full of confidence, they also know how small the difference truly is between them and San Diego (1-3).Theyre just a few points away from being 4-0, Raiders quarterback Derek Carr said. I never look at someones record and say thats who they are. Because, when you turn the film on and you see that defense running around, thats definitely not what it looks like.For 58 minutes, the Chargers have been as good as anyone. But they blew a 21-point lead to Kansas City in the opener before allowing a game-tying TD with 1:11 left and losing in OT; allowed a 63-yard TD pass with 1:28 to go in a 26-22 loss to Indianapolis in Week 3; and then fumbled twice late to blow a 13-point lead last week to New Orleans .Its executing on both sides of the ball, quarterback Philip Rivers said. In the defensive meeting room theyre saying, `Just stop them. Just one stop in these games and we win. In the offensive room we say, `Why do we even send them back out there? I dont think its a flawed approach. Weve just got to get it done.The Raiders have gotten it done late in games with Carr leading a TD drive and throwing the game-winning 2-point conversion with 52 seconds left in the opener at New Orleans , then adding a go-ahead TD pass to Michael Crabtree with 2:12 to go last week at Baltimore .The defense also delivered late stops to seal wins against Tennessee and the Ravens.I love those situations, Carr said. I get so fired up that I have to just calm myself down. You have to stay calm and its not like, `Oh no, the games on the line. Its like, `Yes, the games on the line. Thats stuff that you dream of as a kid.Here are some other things to watch:HOME NOT SO SWEET HOME: The Raiders have won all three road games while losing to Atlanta in their one home contest. That has been a pattern these past two seasons under coach Jack Del Rio as the team is 7-4 on the road but 3-6 at the Coliseum.We need to win at home, theres no doubt about that, Carr said. Our fans are too awesome. They deserve it.MORE INJURIES: The Chargers list of starters out for the season increased again when cornerback Jason Verrett was diagnosed with a torn ACL in his left knee. Verrett, who was a Pro Bowler last year in his second NFL season, joins WR Keenan Allen, RB Danny Woodhead and LB Manti Teo to on the sideline.Its devastating to have to go through that, but man, its still early in the year, Verrett said. Weve still got a lot of good guys that will be on the field.ROOKIE RUNNERS: With starter Latavius Murray nursing a sore toe that could force him to miss the game Sunday, the Raiders may have to rely on a pair of rookie running backs to carry the load against the Chargers. Fortunately, they have been up to the task so far this season. DeAndre Washington has rushed for 147 yards with a 6.4 yard average, while undrafted Jalen Richard has 144 yards and is averaging 8.5 yards per carry.BOSA WATCH: Chargers rookie DE Joey Bosa thinks he might be making his NFL debut this week. The No. 3 pick overall in the draft missed training camp during a nasty holdout and then hurt a hamstring.I havent taken one snap in the NFL so Im just looking to get one and then keep going with that, he said. Of course its a huge game, division rivals. Theyre playing really well right now.Ive been looking forward to this for a long time.SECRET WEAPON: While players such as Carr, Cooper, Crabtree and Khalil Mack get most of the publicity on the Raiders, punter Marquette King is putting together a stellar season. King is averaging 50 yards a punt and has pinned opponents inside the 20 on nearly half his kicks (11 of 23). Hes coming off his best game yet, a 46.5-yard net average on eight punts last week.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---AP Sports Writer Bernie Wilson in San Diego contributed to this report.
