LAS VEGAS -- Geno Smith's fearlessness in throwing the ball into tight windows can be a gift and a curse. It was the latter in the Raiders' 20-9 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night.
One of the few chances the Raiders had to start a comeback came to a halt due to Smith being overly aggressive. Facing a third-and-15 with 6:05 to go in the fourth quarter, Jakobi Meyers faced double coverage, yet Smith tried to connect with the veteran wide receiver. Smith's pass was deflected by safety Derwin James and picked off by Donte Jackson.
