Raiders bench Gardner Minshew for Aidan O’Connell

The Raiders benched Gardner Minshew for Aidan O’Connell with 1:31 left in the third quarter.

Minshew threw a pick-six to Pat Surtain II with 8:43 to go until halftime and the Raiders threatened to make it a 10-point lead. Instead, the game was tied 10-10 after Surtain’s 100-yard return.

Over the next five drives, the Raiders gained just 38 yards on 20 plays with four punts and another pick thrown by Minshew.

Minshew threw a 50-50 ball to receiver Tre Tucker, and cornerback Riley Moss intercepted it.

When the Raiders got the ball back, O’Connell was under center.

Minshew is 12 of 17 for 137 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions.
