Geno Smith was impressive in his Las Vegas Raiders debut as he led the team to a 20-13 victory against the New England Patriots. He threw for 362 yards, one touchdown and one interception while completing 70.6% of his passes and adding 10 rushing yards. He posted a 120.8 passer rating.
The two-time Pro Bowler set a Raiders franchise record for passing yards in a team debut. He also became just the sixth player in franchise history to throw for at least 350 yards while completing 70% of his passes. Furthermore, only reigning MVP Josh Allen threw for more yards than Smith in Week 1.
