Raiders' Quarterback Woes Deepen as Cowboys Expose Weaknesses
18 Nov
Summary
- Dallas Cowboys defense intercepts Geno Smith 13 times, tying him with Tua Tagovailoa
- Raiders' offense falls apart as Tom Brady, minority owner, watches from the stands
- Geno Smith's poor performance leaves the Raiders far from being a contender
On November 18, 2025, the Dallas Cowboys handed the Las Vegas Raiders a lopsided defeat, further exposing the team's quarterback woes. Geno Smith, the Raiders' starting quarterback, has struggled mightily this season, and his performance against the Cowboys was no exception.
Smith's 13 interceptions on the year, which now tie him with Tua Tagovailoa of the Miami Dolphins, have been a major concern for the Raiders' coaching staff. The team's inability to maintain possession and avoid turnovers has been a significant factor in their disappointing 2-8 record through 11 weeks.
Adding to the Raiders' troubles, Tom Brady, a minority owner of the team, was in attendance to witness the offense's collapse. Brady, widely regarded as the greatest quarterback of all time, could certainly provide valuable guidance to Smith, but the young signal-caller has yet to find his footing in the NFL.
The Raiders' rebuild appears to be a long and arduous process, and it may take a significant amount of time before they can become a true contender in the league. For now, the team and its fans must endure the growing pains as they search for a solution at the quarterback position.
