Los Raiders volvieron a sufrir un golpe duro en casa. La derrota 24-17 frente a los Broncos no solo los dejĂł con marca de 2-11, sino que tambiĂ©n generĂł preocupaciĂłn por la lesiĂłn del hombro de Geno Smith en la Ășltima jugada del tercer cuarto. Fue un partido donde el esfuerzo estuvo, pero la ejecuciĂłn y el control del reloj terminaron inclinando la balanza en contra de Las Vegas.
El inicio del encuentro fue un reflejo de lo que ha sido esta temporada: la defensa batallĂł y estuvo demasiado tiempo en el campo. Los Broncos consumieron casi nueve minutos en su primera serie antes de anotar el touchdown que abriĂł el marcador. Sin embargo, los Raiders respondieron con autoridad. Al cierre del primer cuarto, Geno Smith encontrĂł a Brock Bowers con un pase de 15 yardas para empatar el marcador.
Lamentablemente, después de ese momento el ataque se estancó. Doce jugadas y seis yardas en el segundo cuarto para una unidad ofensiva que no pudo establecer ritmo mientras Denver ganó terreno con equipos especiales. Un regreso de patada de despeje de 48 yardas de Marvin Mims Jr. les permitió a los visitantes tomar la ventaja 14-7 antes del medio tiempo.
La segunda mitad mostrĂł un patrĂłn que parece repetirse cada semana: mientras la defensa pelea, la ofensiva no logra complementar. Los Raiders abrieron con tres y fuera, mientras los Broncos controlaron el tiempo de posesiĂłn con dos series consecutivas que consumieron mĂĄs de diecinueve minutos y agregaron diez puntos. Sin ritmo ofensivo y con la defensa exhausta, el juego se escapĂł.
Y todo se complicĂł aĂșn mĂĄs cuando, en la Ășltima jugada del tercer cuarto, Geno Smith recibiĂł un duro golpe con el que cayĂł sobre su hombro derecho. En su lugar entrĂł Kenny Pickett, quien respondiĂł con energĂa y confianza, completando 8 de 11 pases para 97 yardas y un touchdown, el primero en la carrera de Shedrick Jackson.
A pesar de sufrir una séptima derrota consecutiva, Pete Carroll insistió que el grupo sigue unido y con mentalidad positiva.
"La conciencia del equipo dentro del campo mantiene todo unido", dijo Carroll. "EstĂĄn trabajando durĂsimo para hacer la siguiente jugada, pensando que el momento va a cambiar. Tenemos una actitud sorprendentemente positiva. Es parte de nuestra cultura, de cĂłmo operamos, y estĂĄ presente."
Tras solo ver acciĂłn en un total de siete jugadas en los primeros 12 partidos de la temporada, Kenny Pickett estuvo sobre el emparrillado en cada serie que la ofensiva tuvo sobre el emparrillado en el Ășltimo cuarto.
"He visto muchĂsimo de Kenny en las prĂĄcticas", declarĂł Carroll. "Es activo, rĂĄpido, muy atlĂ©tico, piensa bien. Es claramente un competidor. Entiende el fĂștbol americano situacional y sabe lo que estĂĄ pasando. Estoy entrenĂĄndolo intensamente porque quiero que estĂ© listo si aparece la oportunidad. AsĂ lo hicimos con Geno durante años. Y cuando llegue el momento, Ă©l va a estar listo."
Después de no poder meter al equipo a las diagonales en sus primeras dos jugadas del partido con el equipo estando dentro de la yarda 10 de Denver, Pickett tuvo la oportunidad de nueva cuenta regresar al emparrillado por dos series completas mås donde los Raiders anotaron 10 puntos para hacer el marcador mås decoroso.
"LleguĂ© aquĂ una semana antes del inicio de temporada, simplemente tomando todo semana a semana", es como describiĂł su trabajo desde que arribĂł a Las Vegas por medio de un intercambio con Cleveland. "Aprecio a todos en el vestidor, desde los coaches hasta los entrenadores. Cuando tenga una oportunidad de jugar solo quiero dejarlo todo por ellos, y sĂ© que ellos hacen lo mismo por mĂ. Es un reto venir desde la banca al final de un juego e intentar encontrar ritmo, pero me alegra que conseguimos puntos. Hay muchas ĂĄreas para mejorar, quiero volver a verlo."
Aunque el resultado fue amargo, hubo actuaciones que generan esperanza para el futuro inmediato de los Raiders. El novato Tonka Hemingway consiguiĂł su primera captura de mariscal de campo en la NFL, con el esquinero Darien Porter sumando dos pases defendidos. Mientras que al ataque Jack Bech fue el receptor mĂĄs productivo del equipo con seis recepciones para cincuenta yardas, ambas marcas personales, ademĂĄs de que Caleb Rogers fue el guardia derecho titular de Las Vegas por segunda semana consecutiva, pero en esta ocasiĂłn jugĂł en el 100% de los snaps ofensivos del equipo.
Maxx Crosby, una vez mĂĄs, fue una fuerza imparable en la lĂnea defensiva: impuso una nueva marca de la franquicia de tacleadas para pĂ©rdida en una temporada, alcanzando 25 tras sumar una captura y dos tacleadas para pĂ©rdida de yardaje en este encuentro.
La gran incĂłgnita ahora es el estado de Geno Smith rumbo al duelo contra las Ăguilas, el primero de dos partidos consecutivos fuera de casa. Con solo cuatro encuentros restantes en el calendario, y una marca de 2-11, los Malosos intentan construir algo a largo plazo.
