Who Should I Start? Geno Smith or Jared Goff

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.

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff didn't seem to have any issues during Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders. This defense had absolutely no answers for Goff as he picked them apart all game. Goff completed 25-of-33 passing attempts for 320 yards with three touchdowns and zero interceptions in the win. The 31-year-old has now thrown for multiple touchdowns in five of his last six games. This marked only the second time this season that Goff has thrown for over 300 yards in a single game. He'll look to keep the fun times going against the Philadelphia Eagles next weekend.
