Raiders' Mendoza Struggles in Preseason

Fernando Mendoza's disappointing preseason performance likely ends his bid for the Raiders' starting quarterback job.

Fernando Mendoza ended his preseason with lackluster stats, going 7-of-14 for 57 yards with one interception and two sacks in his final game against the 49ers. The No. 1 overall pick finished the preseason 25-for-45 for 240 yards, with one touchdown, two interceptions, and four sacks.

Meanwhile, veteran Kirk Cousins led the Raiders to two Matt Gay field goals, solidifying his position as the likely starter. While Mendoza didn't challenge Cousins for the job, he could still see playing time at some point this season. tr-sport.click
