Raiders rookie QB Fernando Mendoza battled through a tough game against the Texans, throwing an interception but showing veteran poise under pressure. Despite the miscue — caused by miscommunication with his receiver — he stayed focused on the win, crediting his team’s complementary play in the clutch fourth quarter. Mendoza embraces every moment as a learning opportunity, refusing to dwell on mistakes and instead directing energy toward the next play. He prepares like a starter regardless of role, keeping nerves in check with calm confidence. His growth is fueled by trust in teammates, especially captain Maxx Crosby’s leadership, and a relentless focus on improving pocket movement and offensive line chemistry.
