In addition to Davante Adams drama, the Las Vegas Raiders have quarterback drama.

Late in the third quarter of their game at the Denver Broncos on Sunday, Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce benched starting quarterback Gardner Minshew in favor of backup Aidan O’Connell.

O’Connell replaced Minshew in garbage time in a Week 3 loss to the Carolina Panthers. While the Raiders were trailing 20-10 to Denver at the time of this move, it didn’t seem like garage time.
