Mendoza’s Mixed Debut Shines Through | NFL News
Description
Raiders rookie QB Fernando Mendoza got his first real NFL test Thursday night, playing the entire first half against the Texans. He flashed elite arm talent with big throws, but also threw a costly pick-six that gave Houston a 17-0 lead. Despite the early blow, he showed flashes of poise and accuracy, learning from live defensive pressure—including an 11-yard sack. While not as clean as his preseason debut against Arizona, this game was exactly what he needed: tough reps, real-game experience, and room to grow.
