description

Creativity, and a bit of improvisation, would be of the essence for the Raiders’ passing attack as it entered Week 6’s clash missing both its All-Pro wideout and the trusted, proven No. 2 receiver. Competitive, even against those odds during Las Vegas’ last comeback effort, Aidan O’Connell conducted a clinic in pocket presence, keeping steady with Pittsburgh’s pass rush encircling him before rocketing a perfectly-pinpoint dime to a crossing teammate, securing a nine-yard score. The Steelers would ultimately leave Sin City with a virtuous 32-13 win on Oct. 13, 2024, but O’Connell, against one of the NFL's premier, big-play defenses, tossed for 227 yards on 27-of-40 passing, alongside one touchdown.
