The New York Giants thought when the week began they were preparing for a Josh McDaniels-coached team quarterbacked by Jimmy Garoppolo. But the Raiders had a rough Monday night performance at Detroit on national TV. They fired McDaniels and benched Garoppolo. Antonio Pierce is the Raiders’ interim coach. He played for the Giants in 2005-09.
Las Vegas Raiders interim head coach Antonio Pierce speaks with reporters during a news conference at the Raiders Headquarters/Intermountain Performance Center Wednesday, Nov. 1, 2023, in Henderson, Nev. New York Giants’ Daniel Jones , Tommy DeVito and Matt Barkley talk during NFL football practice in East Rutherford, N.J., Wednesday, Nov. 1, 2023.
That could be quite a challenge to a Raiders offense that hasn’t scored 20 points this season — Las Vegas scored 21 points against the New England Patriots last month because of a fourth-quarter safety. New York threw the ball 14 times against the Jets, finishing with minus-9 net yards passing. Receivers Isaiah Hodgins, Sterling Shepard and Jalin Hyatt were not targeted.Jones laughed when asked if that was “Shep” saying he wanted a pass against the Raiders.
O’Connell hopes this start is much better than his first one when he had three turnovers and was sacked seven times. But at least he has that experience to draw on so that taking the field Sunday won’t be a completely new experience.
