STAR OF THE GAME The Raiders' Derek Carr throws for three touchdowns and 228 yards against Indianapolis before suffering a fractured right fibula early in the fourth quarter. Carr is injured as he lands awkwardly after being sacked by Colts linebacker Trent Cole with 10:45 rermaining.

Before being injured, Carr throws scoring passes to Andre Holmes (1 yard), Clive Walford (5 yards) and Jalen Ricard (4 yards). Carr finishes 20 of 30 passing for 228 yards with no interceptions and a 122.6 passer rating.

KEY STATS With the win, the Raiders reach 12 victories in a season for the first time since 2000 when they advanced to the AFC title game. The loss eliminates the Colts (7-8) from playoff contention. Oakland (12-3) would win the AFC West with a victory at Denver or a Kansas City loss to San Diego in Week 17.

Raiders rookie DeAndre Washinghton has an NFL career high 99 rushing yards on 12 carries and two TDs. He scores on two 22-yard runs on consecutive Raiders possessions in the third quarter.

The Colts' Andrew Luck is 19 of 29 passing for 288 yards and two TDs with two interceptions. Safeties Nate Allen and Reggie Nelson each pick off Luck passes during the first half.

For the second straight game, Raiders defensive end Khalil Mack does not have a sack after recording a sack in eight straight games. The Colts do not allow a sack for a second consecutive game.

THEY SAID IT "Seeing him go down like that, it hurt us. It didn't even feel like we won."
