Raiders vs Dolphins Preview

The Las Vegas Raiders (2-0) look to keep a strong preseason going against the Miami Dolphins (1-0) on Saturday.

Las Vegas beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 27-11 in the Hall of Fame Game on August 4. The Raiders then beat the Minnesota Vikings 26-20 on Sunday, August 14 at home.

Raiders backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham has impressed at times in two preseason games with 164 yards passing and 30 yards rushing. Fellow backup Nick Mullens has impressed, too, with 166 yards passing and a touchdown.

Chase Garbers saw some snaps, too, but the position battle remains between Stidham and Mullens for the top backup job behind Derek Carr. That will continue in Miami.

“I thought all the quarterbacks did well, I really did. Jarrett led a couple of scoring drives, and then Nick came in, did the same thing,” Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels said via Sports Illustrated’s Raider Maven. “And then Chase moved the team a little bit there at the end. I think Jarrett has really grown over time. One of the things that keeps showing up and I’m really happy about is that there have been no turnovers. Before we can win, we have to learn how to not lose.”

The Dolphins collected their first win of the preseason on August 13 in a 26-24 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Dolphins backup quarterback Skylar Thompson led the way with 218 yards and a touchdown on 20-28 passing. Thompson also ran for 25 yards on three carries.

“I have to check myself when certain things will happen during a game or practice where I’ll feel myself getting impatient with him because I’ve completely forgotten he’s a rookie,” Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said via USA Today’s Dolphins Wire. “But he is a rookie, and to his credit, we rely on him as a veteran. It’s a hard thing in this league with a night’s sleep to go in as a starter — we were pumped to give him that opportunity.”

“I know he feels like, and we’ll all feel like, he left some plays out there,” McDaniel added. “But the biggest thing is we didn’t have any turnovers as an offense. I think we had one penalty, so that’s something to build on positively and you can’t have those types of statistics there, specifically, if you don’t have efficient, good quarterback play. It was cool to watch — he was pumped. He was very salty, I think, every series because he was mad at himself for whatever happened the previous series and that’s a good starting point because he didn’t shy away from making plays either after he was frustrated.”
