The Las Vegas Raiders completed their first preseason game on Thursday night, and it was an up-and-down day for the offense. Geno Smith got the start but quickly exited, with Aidan O’Connell replacing him for the majority of the game.
O’Connell did not have his best night, and he left the door wide open for Cam Miller, a sixth-round pick from North Dakota State, to compete for the backup job. Miller played almost all of the fourth quarter, completing six of seven passes for 76 yards and a touchdown.
He led the Raiders on a game-tying field goal drive with just over a minute left on the clock.
