After losing the starting quarterback job, Las Vegas Raiders Aidan O'Connell got his first opportunity to play in a regular season game Sunday against the Carolina Panthers.
As the fourth quarter loomed and the Las Vegas Raiders already faced an 18-point deficit in its eventual loss to the Carolina Panthers, Gardner Minshew II threw an interception on the Raiders side of the field. That play put the exclamation point, or even a question mark, on the game for Las Vegas.
With over 4 minutes left in the game, O’Connell jogged onto the field with the Raiders' offense. He was evaluating the field, connecting on check-down passes, converting on fourth downs, making throws while the pocket collapsed and making throws on the run.
