Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith came out loser in the 10-7 game against the Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football. Smith completed 16 of 26 passes for 143 yards and threw one interception. ‘
There were several opportunities in the game where the Raiders could have capitalized. The biggest of them all was missing a 48-yard field goal with roughly 4:26 remaining. Had the kick been successful, they could’ve tied the game.

Did Geno Smith Get Hurt?
Early in the fourth quarter, Geno Smith suffered a quad contusion. During the scramble, he was tripped by Nik Bonitto, landing under heavy contact from Malcolm Roach. Smith had to leave the field for evaluation. However, he returned two snaps later though he was visibly limping and battling through pain.
Raiders head coach Pete Carroll lauded Smith for going back out despite the injury.
“He wanted to go back in in the worst way,” Carroll said. “He wanted to finish the game for his teammates. He got whacked in the quad, got a quad bruise or something, contusion, whatever it is. He got smacked. That’s just him fighting.”
Despite Smith’s battling on the field through play, he couldn’t avoid the fate.
