The Las Vegas Raiders desperately needed their young wide receivers to step up on Thursday Night Football in Week 10, as the team traded away star Jakobi Meyers just days before. The offense needed some production alongside Brock Bowers and Tre Tucker, but they never got it.
Rookies Jack Bech and Dont'e Thornton Jr. were under a microscope heading into the matchup, but unfortunately, they didn't answer the call. They made far too many unforced mistakes in the game, which sank the Raiders' offense on several occasions.
While many think that these two squandered their chance, and others are writing them off after a poor performance in primetime, Raider Nation needs to rally around these young players and instill confidence in them because they are far from being the problem with the Las Vegas offense.
