Despite a rather pedestrian stat line—15/23 (65.2 completion percentage), 222 yards, one touchdown and one interception—the Las Vegas Raiders' new quarterback was pretty flippin' impressive on the big stage and played much better than the box score showed. Four of his incompletions were throwaways, and one came via a batted pass, according to Pro Football Focus, and the interception was on a screen where the corner jumped the route to beat the block and make the pick. PFF credited the No. 1 pick of the 2026 NFL draft with three "big-time throws" and zero "turnover-worthy plays" to earn an elite 91.9 grade for the evening.
