- Tyler Linderbaum on being penalized multiple times now on the Connor Heyward sneak: "I gotta figure it out. Unacceptable to put our team in that position. So just gotta be better with that. And that's a critical moment in the game, a big swing, so we gotta improve on that."
- Klint Kubiak on if there's any areas Mike Washington Jr. needs to improve to get on the field more: "I think he needs more opportunities, and that starts with me too." On Washington getting subbed off for Dylan Laube during the timeout before Laube's touchdown against the Patriots: "That was just a play that we had practiced with Dylan and wanted to make sure that we had the guys that got the practice rep." On how Laube worked his way into opportunities against the Patriots: "I think overall that Dylan has been a really good protection back for us. And that gets you in the game on third down and gets you in the game on passing situations. He's been very reliable on special teams. Just overall, a very reliable player that's an ascending player." · Quoting Sam Warren: Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty played 32 offensive snaps against the Patriots (53%). Dylan Laube played 23 (38%) and Mike Washington Jr. played 5 (8%). Laube really only played 12 snaps before the game got out of hand. Of…
- Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty played 32 offensive snaps against the Patriots (53%). Dylan Laube played 23 (38%) and Mike Washington Jr. played 5 (8%). Laube really only played 12 snaps before the game got out of hand. Of them, 7 were on 3rd down. Raiders seem to be more comfortable with him as a passing down back than Washington as of now. Laube's two rushes before the 4th quarter came in a no-huddle situation off a 3rd down conversion he stayed on the field for and 2 plays after another 3rd down conversion, following which he stayed on for the remainder of the drive. Washington's 1 attempt came at the end of the 1st quarter with a 1-score deficit. He stayed on for the next play (Connor Heyward's sneak that was called back for penalty). He was in again for the failed Tre Tucker reverse in the 2nd quarter and saw 2 passing snaps late in the 3rd quarter. Laube was the RB for the Fernando Mendoza drive. Likely the Raiders wanted him out there as the experienced backup in Mendoza's first…
- Connor Heyward gets brick walled at the sticks and on the next play, Mike Washington is stopped for a four-yard loss.

- #Raiders doing for it on 4th and one from their own 35. Direct snap to Connor Heyward. Same play as last week. First down.
- Pat Freiermuth is the new Connor Heyward in the tush push. Steelers offense gets the needed yard on fourth down, but even so, it's been a clunky afternoon for Pittsburgh across the board.

Klint Kubiak on the snap breakdown between Ashton Jeanty and Mike Washington Jr.:
"Most games I've been in, it never turns out exactly how you plan it. A lot of times, you're riding the guy that has the hot hand. We've got two guys who are playing good football. Ashton, obviously, had a really good game. We expect more from Mike. Not that he didn't play well-- I think Mike played really well. If he were to get 10 more carries, I know he'd do a great job. But it was his first NFL game, and so you have to look at how he responded against ones versus ones." · Quoting Sam Warren: Raiders snap counts takeaways besides Crosby:
- Ashton Jeanty dominated the backfield share with 50 offensive snaps (74%). Mike Washington Jr.'s 13 snaps were only 3 more than Dylan Laube's 10.
- Kwity Paye (32) and Malcolm Koonce (29) were near even in their defensive snap share.
- Tonka Hemingway led the DTs in defensive snaps (32). Adam Butler (21), Thomas Booker (19), Jonah Laulu (19) and Foley Fatukasi…
