Raiders lose game to Rams, QB to injury during crushing Sunday

INGLEWOOD, Calif. — The Raiders lost 20-15 to the Rams at SoFi Stadium on Sunday to extend their losing streak to three games.

Starting quarterback Aidan O’Connell suffered a thumb injury in the first quarter and did not return. Gardner Minshew took over the rest of the game and committed four turnovers, including a fumble that was returned 33 yards for a touchdown.

The Rams led 14-6 at halftime and 21-6 halfway through the third quarter. The Raiders then scored nine straight points to make it close at the end, but they settled for a field goal on fourth-and-goal from the 9-yard line with 2:46 remaining.

They got the ball back one more time with 1:39 left but Minshew threw his third interception.

Coach Antonio Pierce said O’Connell will undergo more testing once the Raiders get back to Las Vegas. The second-year quarterback completed six of his 10 passes for 52 yards before getting hurt.

Minshew connected on just 15 of his 34 passing attempts for 154 yards and three picks.
