Overview

  • Smith went 24-of-34 for 362 yards with one touchdown and one interception in a 20-13 road victory at New England.
  • He logged nine completions of 20-plus yards, tying a Raiders single-game mark since 1991, and connected with seven different receivers, according to the team.
  • Postgame, Smith struck a confident tone with “I’m me… I know who I am, I know what I can do,” as reported by NFL.com.
  • Head coach Pete Carroll downplayed the moment, calling it “a regular game” for Smith and noting there is room to improve.
  • The debut followed Las Vegas acquiring Smith this offseason and extending him for two years at a reported $85.5 million after a 4-13 campaign in 2024.
