Aidan O'Connell Plays Three Quarters in Finale, Avoids Mistakes for Raiders

Aidan O'Connell completed 10 of 22 passes for 102 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions, adding seven rushing yards, in the Raiders' 14-12 win over the Chiefs. He rotated with Kenny Pickett but ultimately played the final three quarters after Pickett struggled. While not exceptional, O'Connell managed to complete a pair of passes for over 20 yards and avoided significant mistakes. He remains under contract with the Raiders in 2026 and could be set to compete for the backup quarterback role.
