Raiders-Cowboys preseason winners and losers: Gardner Minshew gets starting job while Raiders’ quarterback situation suffers

The Dallas Cowboys rested most of their starters while the Las Vegas Raiders had plenty of first-stringers—including quarterback Gardner Minshew—in action on Saturday’s preseason game. However, that was hard to tell while watching the matchup unfold.

The Raiders lost 12-27 and the offense struggled to put points on the board in the first half as the team entered the locker room down 13-6. While the second half was better for Las Vegas, pulling within one point in the third quarter, Aidan O’Connell’s pick-six pretty much sealed the team’s fate.

That leads us to this week’s winners and losers for the Silver and Black as the quarterback situation is the primary focus.
