This is the moment when AJ McCarron becomes a star

You mean the game where Manning was driving the Broncos down the field with a chance to win at the end, and Dre Kirkpatrick returned an INT for a TD to seal it?

Yeah seems like apples to apples.

Not carrying water for McCarron because his fumble lost the game, but why do you think Dalton "beat" the Broncos defense any more than McCarron did tonight?

And why does anyone think Derek Carr "beat" the Broncos?  If the Bengals hold the Broncos to 12 points, they win tonight too.

Because when the game was on the line in the second half, Derek Carr did enough to win.
10-21 for 127 yards and 2 TDs. He had NOTHING on the ground (1.2 YPC for 27 yards) and had very little help. He was the Raiders offense.

It'd be different if he had some run support. But he didn't. He had to beat that Broncos defense by himself. That's why I say he won
