Aidan O’Connell will start at quarterback for the Raiders on Sunday when they host the Pittsburgh Steelers at Allegiant Stadium.
O’Connell replaces Gardner Minshew, whose inconsistent play sent him to the bench after five games. It’s a similar situation to last season when O’Connell took over as the starter for the final nine games and went 5-4.
The Raiders (2-3) are coming off a 34-18 loss at Denver.
The Steelers (3-2) have lost two straight but remain tied with Baltimore for first place in the AFC North.
