He&#8217;s won a lot of games in this league,&#8221; head coach Josh McDaniels said, via the team&#8217;s official website. &#8220;I think the guys in the locker room know who they have and what this guy can do, how competitive he is. He&#8217;s a very good leader. He&#8217;s a great communicator. Just does what it takes to win.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Doesn&#8217;t care about his statistics or anything like that, it&#8217;s just &#8216;whatever I can do at my position to try to help the team win, I&#8217;m going to try to do it.&#8217; Super happy that he&#8217;s a Raider.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>          <span>            Related Links          <\/span>        <\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>              NFL stats and records, Week 1: Dolphins&#x27; Tua Tagovailoa and Tyreek Hill both break records in season opener            <\/li>\n<li>              The First Read: NFL Week 1 first impressions; who&#x27;s up\/down entering Week 2?            <\/li>\n<li>              2023 NFL season, Week 1: What We Learned from Sunday&#x27;s games            <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Garoppolo endeared himself to new teammates by taking an early illegal shot scrambling for a first down that knocked him out two plays. The Raiders quarterback, however, sprinted from the blue medical tent to the field after being cleared to throw the game&#8217;s first touchdown.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Man, he&#8217;s a dog,&#8221; running back Josh Jacobs said. &#8220;Any quarterback that&#8217;s willing to take a hit in a big moment to secure a win got my respect.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After the early success, Garoppolo and the offense got stymied, kicking a short field goal on the next drive. On the first drive of the second half came Jimmy G&#8217;s biggest mistake, an end zone interception that squelched a chance for the Raiders to tie or take the lead.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The pick [was] a terrible, stupid decision,&#8221; Garoppolo said. &#8220;Just got to take the points there and throw it away when nothing&#8217;s there. I thought mental toughness kicked in and guys stuck with. They believed in me, so I appreciate that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After the Broncos took a six-point lead on an ensuing field goal, Garoppolo bounced back, leading a go-ahead TD drive that included passes of 18, 16 and 20 yards before he capped it with a six-yard score to Jakobi Meyers.<\/p>\n<p>On the final drive, Garoppolo iced the game with an 8-yard scramble on third-and-7 at the two-minute warning to ensure the Broncos didn&#8217;t get the ball back.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s a dog,&#8221; defensive end Maxx Crosby said. &#8220;We see that every day in practice. He put it on display today. It&#8217;s exciting to see.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Garoppolo finished 20-of-26 passing (76.9%) for 200 yards and two TDs with one INT for a 107.9 passer rating.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/jimmy-garoppolo-wins-over-teammates-in-debut-with-raiders-he-s-a-dog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Jimmy Garoppolo&#8217;s first game with the Las Vegas Raiders included the 12th fourth-quarter comeback of his career, as he spearheaded a 17-16 road victory of <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/sportstoft.com\/nfl\/jimmy-garoppolo-wins-over-teammates-in-debut-with-raiders-hes-a-dog\/\" title=\"Jimmy Garoppolo wins over teammates in debut with Raiders: &#x27;He&#x27;s a dog&#x27;\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":288347,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-288348","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Jimmy Garoppolo wins over teammates in debut with Raiders: &#x27;He&#x27;s a dog&#x27;
