In Sunday's Panthers-Raiders game in Oakland, fans watching the game at home on TV got to see a gruesome injury that made them cringe. Raiders quarterback Derek Carr took an errant snap from the center early in the third quarter, which mysteriously caused his right pinky finger become dislocated in the nastiest way possible.
If you want to take a look at how it happened in the clip above, beware that it will make you cringe.
Twitter then reacted with plenty of memes and tweets that reflected their horrified reactions to Carr's pinky injury.
Carr exited the game to get treatment for his damaged fifth digit. But he would eventually return to the game with a glove on his throwing hand.
Somehow, Carr pushed for a comeback drive on his first three passes, but threw an interception to Carolina on the fourth pass attempt. Although he persevered through his pinky injury to tie the game at 32 with 8:37 minutes left in the game.
The Raiders would eventually win the game 35-32, their fifth straight, after they rallied from 11 points down in the fourth quarter. It was Carr's second game-winning drive since last Monday against the Texans. Carr finished the game with 315 passing yards, two touchdowns, and went for 26 for 38 passing attempts.
