Raiders' Jimmy Garoppolo Hyped by NFL Fans as a 'Winner' vs. Russell Wilson, Broncos

A six-point deficit with seven minutes left on the clock wasn't enough to faze Jimmy Garoppolo in his Las Vegas Raiders debut.

Garoppolo led a game-winning drive in the final minutes of Sunday's Week 1 clash with the Denver Broncos to earn the trust of Raiders fans with a 17-16 comeback win.

Although viewers were concerned after Garoppolo appeared to be shaken up following a collision early in the first quarter, the quarterback recovered to connect with Jakobi Meyers for his first passing touchdown in silver and black less than one minute of play time later.
