Frustrations for the Raiders have mounted in recent weeks, but after a 26—14 loss to the Lions on Monday Night Football in Week 8, they may have fully boiled over. Following the game, Las Vegas head coach Josh McDaniels was asked about Jimmy Garoppolo remaining the team's starting quarterback and opted not to answer.
"I'm not going to talk about that right now," McDaniels said when asked about Garoppolo remaining the team's starter, per The Athletic's Vic Tafur.
Quarterback play was unquestionably the biggest area of struggle for the Raiders in the loss, which moved the team to 3–5 on the season. Garoppolo had a rough night, completing just 10-of-21 passes for 126 yards and one interception. As a whole, the Raiders offense was outgained 486 to 157 by the Lions.
