The Las Vegas Raiders’ first preseason game of 2023 against the San Francisco 49ers couldn’t have gone much better. The Raiders’ defense started the contest with three consecutive three-and-outs while the offense gave them a 7-0 lead on their first possession, and the team never looked back en route to a 34-7 victory.
There’s plenty of praise to go around in Las Vegas as this week’s winners and losers are listed below.
WINNER: Aidan O’Connell
Easily the biggest winner for the Silver and Black was rookie quarterback, Aidan O’Connell, and he had arguably the most-impressive performance across the entire league.
