Fernando Mendoza Wears Helmet on Sideline as Fan Calls to Start Grow

Las Vegas Raiders rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza drew attention for wearing his helmet on the sideline during Week 1 to hear play calls and simulate real reps. Meanwhile, fan calls for the No. 1 overall pick to take over the starting job from veteran Kirk Cousins are growing following Cousins' poor deep-ball performance against Miami. Head coach Klink Kubiak continues to evaluate options while slow-playing Mendoza's development.
