In addition to Davante Adams drama, the Las Vegas Raiders have quarterback drama.

Late in the third quarter of their game at the Denver Broncos on Sunday, Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce benched starting quarterback Gardner Minshew in favor of backup Aidan O’Connell.

O’Connell replaced Minshew on garbage time in a Week 3 loss to the Carolina Panthers. While the Raiders trailed Denver 20-10 at the time of this move, it didn’t seem like garage time. It appeared Minshew was replaced for performance reasons.

He started the game by completing his first nine passes of the game (including a touchdown to rookie tight end Brock Bowers). But he struggled mightily as the game progressed, including throwing two interceptions, one for a touchdown return.

Minshew defeated O’Connell in August after a training camp fight. It will be interesting to see what Pierce and his staff do at the position after Sunday’s game. But it’s reasonable to suspect O’Connell could line up behind center in Week 6 at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
