What are fans saying about Jimmy G’s first game as the Raiders QB? ‘He can win.’
Jimmy Garoppolo’s first game as the Las Vegas Raiders quarterback was a success.
And his quick thinking by running the ball to seal the Raiders’ 17-16 victory over Denver Broncos was a welcome sight for Raider Nation.
While the game wasn’t pretty, Jimmy G used his feet and got eight yards for a first down to seal the game on Sunday afternoon.
Whether it’s Raiders fans or even 49ers fans, they were pleased about Jimmy G leading Las Vegas to a win.
Jimmy G was super impressive and the defense held up when it mattered! Very awesome win just don’t break my heart this season like usual lol

Jimmy G continues to win. All the hate but he doesn’t care. Happy for the guy. Brock still better though.

Earlier in the game, Jimmy G took a big hit in the first quarter by Justin Simmons.
He got up, looking a little woozy, but referee Bill Vinovich told him to get checked for a concussion.
Garoppolo missed two plays before going back in and leading the Raiders to a touchdown when he connected on a 3-yard touchdown to Jakobi Meyers.

The Raiders converted in the red zone.

Never thought I'd be happy to see Jimmy G walk back onto the field . . . for my team but we're here.

It was a good sign for the Raiders to score in the red zone and later win the game for a 1-0 start.
