That’s two games, two opening drive touchdowns for Jimmy Garoppolo and the Raiders.
It didn’t start out well. Josh Jacobs got the first down handoff and was tackled for a four-yard loss when right guard Greg Van Roten was beaten off the snap and driven into the backfield.

Jacobs gor 12 yards back on the next play on a screen pass. Then it was Jimmy Garoppolo out right for Davante Adams to pick up the first down at midfield.
Next play, we see the first touch by rookie WR Tre Tucker, who goes for 34 yards on the jet sweep.
Next play, the Raiders finish it off.
One drive. One @tae15adams TD.

Jimmy G found Davante Adams on this TD. Last week it was Jakobi Meyers who was the recipient of the opening drive TD. Meyers is inactive with a concussion. But not problem, Garoppolo has the best receiver in the league on the field, so he’s good.
