Aidan O'Connell Carried By Defense In Week 16

11 months ago

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell completed nine passes on 21 attempts (43%) for 62 yards in the Week 16 win against the Kansas City Chiefs. The rookie quarterback did next to nothing in this game and still came out of it with a win. O'Connell also rushed four times for -4 rushing yards and finished with a quarterback rating of 12.1. Despite the abysmal performance, the Raiders put on a defensive clinic that won the game. The Raiders scored two touchdowns on defense and ran out the clock with 145 rushing yards from Zamir White. The Raiders take on the Indianapolis Colts in Week 17. The Colts are not the easiest matchup for quarterbacks since they give up the most damage on the ground, so O'Connell should not be anywhere close to the streaming conversation in Week 17.
