Tyler Lockett Leads Raiders' Receiving in Debut, Impressing Quarterback Geno Smith

Veteran receiver Tyler Lockett emerged as the Las Vegas Raiders' leading receiver in Thursday night's loss to the Broncos, just 10 days after signing with the team. The 33-year-old, who was cut by the Titans mid-season, quickly re-established rapport with quarterback Geno Smith, his former Seattle teammate. Lockett caught five of six targets for 44 yards, leading the Raiders in targets, catches, and yards for the game. Quarterback Geno Smith praised Lockett's performance, stating, "I thought Lockett played a tremendous game for only being here a week and a half. As he continues to learn the offense I think he's going to really help us out down the line." Lockett's immediate impact highlights the Raiders' need for offensive playmakers, as tight end Brock Bowers had only one catch despite setting up their lone touchdown.
