Raiders’ top draft pick Fernando Mendoza had a shaky preseason debut, throwing 8 of 15 passes and surrendering a costly pick-six that led to a Texans touchdown — but the team still pulled off a 22-20 win. Veteran Kirk Cousins sat out as Aidan O’Connell took over, and coach Klint Kubiak kept the QB race wide open, emphasizing that no one’s guaranteed the starting job. Mendoza’s turnover woes are a major red flag as he adjusts to the new offense, but with regular-season opener against Miami looming, consistency will be key if he wants to secure the starting role.
