Snapping a three game losing streak, the Silver and Back came out with a victory in the Raiders vs Packers Week 5 Monday Night Football showdown back on the Death Star. This was the franchise’s first win against Green Bay since 1987.
Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo was back on the field after a week out following a concussion. The 10th year QB threw for 208 passing yards, one touchdown, and one pick. On the other end, Packers QB Jordan Love threw for 182 yards on 16 completions with three picks.
After the Packers succeeded on a first quarter field goal, Jimmy G led the Raiders on a 62-yard drive that spanned over eight minutes. With about four minutes left in the first half, he threw a 9-yard touchdown to receiver Jakobi Meyers, who now has three tuddies for the 2023 NFL season.
