Busters for Raiders preseason Week 2 vs Texans
Key Points:
- Raiders linebacker Cody Lindenberg struggled significantly against the Texans' starting offense, allowing multiple key plays including a 20-yard touchdown run and finishing with just one tackle in 41 snaps.
- Defensive tackle Treven Ma'ae was ineffective, failing to record any stats in 18 snaps and being overpowered on the opening play.
- Quarterback Fernando Mendoza had a poor first half, completing only 8 of 15 passes for 86 yards with one interception and a 42.6 passer rating, despite one notable 22-yard completion.
- Starting tackles Trey Zuhn III and Charles Grant repeatedly allowed pressure on Mendoza, contributing to hurried throws and a pick-six.
- Kicker Kansei Matsuzawa missed both extra point attempts and his only field goal attempt, continuing his struggles in the preseason.
