Overview
- Las Vegas fell 25-24 at home to Chicago in Week 4, with Geno Smith throwing three interceptions and underthrowing a late red-zone chance.
- Smith’s picks included two by safety Kevin Byard and another by cornerback Tyrique Stevenson on throws targeting Jakobi Meyers.
- With seven interceptions through four games, Smith now leads the NFL and has logged two separate three-INT outings this season.
- Asked during the loss if the Raiders considered turning to Kenny Pickett, head coach Pete Carroll answered, “No.”
- The Raiders acquired Smith for a third-round pick and signed him to a two-year extension worth up to $75 million, as debate grows over thin depth behind him and whether to pursue a young quarterback in upcoming drafts.
