Who Should I Start? Geno Smith or Bo Nix

Friday, November 7, 12:34 AM

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith (quad) was diagnosed with a quad contusion following Thursday's Week 10 loss against the Denver Broncos, head coach Pete Carroll told members of the media, including NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. Smith briefly exited the game early in the fourth quarter and was replaced by Kenny Pickett, who attempted one pass. The veteran quarterback returned to the game, then left again with a "questionable" designation in the final minutes. Las Vegas did not get the ball back, and it's unclear whether Smith or Pickett would have earned snaps if the Raiders' offense returned to the field. The 35-year-old completed 16 of 26 passes for 143 yards and his league-leading 12th interception of the season. He also took six sacks. It remains to be seen whether Smith will play in Week 11. On a positive note, playing on Thursday night gives him a full 11 days to rest and recover before the Raiders return to action against Dallas.

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix had a rough outing against their division rival, the Las Vegas Raiders, in Thursday's 10-7 win. Nix would end the night completing 16 of 28 pass attempts for only 150 passing yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions while adding five rushes for negative two yards. It was a rough showing for the passing offense as a whole, and the offense often drew boos as it stalled throughout the night. Notably, rough winds were swirling through the stadium throughout the night, but Nix still put up a disappointing performance for those who started him this week. Nix will look to bounce back against division rivals, the Kansas City Chiefs, in Week 11.
