Recap from Raiders 37-34 Loss
From the start of the game, the Las Vegas Raiders were out to show that they weren't going to be a doormat for the San Francisco 49ers in their eventual 37-34 overtime loss.
New starting quarterback Jarrett Stidham proved the moment wasn't too big for him by finding tight end Darren Waller for a 24-yard touchdown on the Raiders' opening drive.
Stidham would remain poised as players like running back Christian McCaffrey and wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk continued to make plays for the 49ers.
McCaffrey in particular was a focal point, racking up 193 total yards and a touchdown, looking every bit like the best dual-threat running back in the NFL.
Despite throwing an interception, 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy remained the offenses effective triggerman, passing for 284 yards and two touchdowns.
All of that added to another forgettable showing for the Raiders defense, which gave up 454 total yards.
The fact that the Raiders themselves managed to rush and pass for a total of 500 yards against the 49ers was the real surprise.
Stidham did throw two interceptions, but he was aggressive in looking for his receivers and giving the Raiders chances to make big plays.
Wide receiver Davante Adams would think so, as he hooked up with Stidham on seven catches for 153 yards and a touchdown.
More than anything, Stidham was able to help lead the Raiders on two drives to tie the game in the fourth quarter and send the game into overtime.
Who knows what the future may hold for the quarterback position for the Raiders, but against a talented opponent, Stidham showed he could be sticking around moving forward.
