Jimmy Garoppolo completed all four of his passes for 39 yards while leading a touchdown drive in his Raiders debut, and Las Vegas went on to a 34-17 preseason victory over the Los Angeles Rams.
Jimmy Garoppolo wanted a chance to lead the Las Vegas Raiders before the games that count, and Josh McDaniels was happy to give it to him.
Garoppolo played only the opening series for the Raiders , who signed the longtime 49ers quarterback in March as their replacement for Derek Carr. The 10-year veteran has beaten the Rams more often than any quarterback during Sean McVay's career, and Garoppolo didn't make a significant mistake while leading a comfortable drive ending in Brandon Bolden's 7-yard TD run.
Given Garoppolo's injury history and the importance of his health this season, McDaniels thought it beneficial for his quarterback to get back into the groove. "You always go through that conversation in your head every year," McDaniels said."We just felt like with the number of new faces, the number of guys that were basically going to play their first regular season game together, that we'd like to go ahead and get that feeling you have in your stomach on a normal game day in the regular season."
Rams linebacker Jacob Hummel returned an interception 21 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter on a similarly poor throw by Brian Hoyer, the presumptive backup to Garoppolo.Hoyer might have some competition from Aidan O'Connell: The Raiders' fourth-round pick from Purdue played the second half and passed for 163 yards while throwing TD passes to Cam Sims and Kristian Wilkerson on back-to-back drives.
Bennett got more action than Brett Rypien, his competitor for the backup spot behind Matthew Stafford. Rypien didn't play until the fourth quarter, but completed all four of his pass attempts.
