MINNEAPOLIS, MN – The Las Vegas Raiders made the 1,930-mile trip from Costa Mesa, California, to Minneapolis for today’s preseason game.
The Silver and Black went into the game with a tough quarterback duel and were looking for answers today. Not only at quarterback, but also in other crucial areas.
It was a tale of two halves in the truest sense of the word, but in the end the Silver and Black were able to leave the Twin Cities encouraged about the direction of their franchise.
Both quarterbacks were convincing and showed their best performance in the three weeks of the still young season.
Aidan O’Connell started the game and was assigned the first quarter. He continued a long drive after starting from his four-yard line that ended in a field goal. On the day, he completed seven of nine passes for 76 yards and no interceptions.
Minshew took over the second quarter, where he directed four drives that culminated in two touchdowns and a field goal. He was six of 12 passing for 117 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions.
Fans should also leave this match feeling positive about the state of this quarterback battle after the two rivals’ training camp was underwhelming.
