First Call: Raiders unsure of QB before hosting Steelers; Browns sticking with Deshaun Watson

Monday’s “First Call” looks at the quarterback situation in Las Vegas as the Pittsburgh Steelers prepare for a trip out there to play the Raiders next weekend. We also have locker-room reaction from both the Bengals and Browns coaches after painful losses Sunday.

There are some NHL roster moves of note, and the Robert Morris women’s hockey team is off to a hot start.

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce isn’t yet willing to name a quarterback for next week, when his team hosts the Steelers. That’s after he pulled Gardner Minshew for Aidan O’Connell during Vegas’ 34-18 loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday.

“I don’t know. I don’t have an answer for that one yet,” Pierce said when asked if O’Connell would be starting next week.

Minshew completed his first nine passes of the game for 115 yards. The 28-year-old journeyman finished just 12 of 17 for 137 yards. He had one touchdown, two interceptions and took two sacks.

One of those interceptions was returned the length of the field for a touchdown by Patrick Surtain.

O’Connell took over with Las Vegas trailing 20-10 in the third quarter with 90 seconds left on the clock. The second-year signal-caller out of Purdue ended up going 10 of 20 for 94 yards. He was also intercepted by Surtain.

As a member of the Colts last year, Minshew beat the Steelers while throwing three touchdowns and posting a 123.4 passer rating.

Call it “committed,” or call it “stubborn.” Either way, Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski is staying with struggling Deshaun Watson as the team’s quarterback.

“We’re not changing quarterbacks,” Stefanski said after a 34-13 loss Sunday to the Washington Commanders. “We need to play better. I need to coach better. That’s really what it is.”

Jameis Winston came in for the final drive of the game Sunday.

Watson was 15-of-28 passes for just 125 yards and one touchdown. He absorbed seven sacks. The 29-year-old has been sacked 26 times already this season.

The Browns’ loss drops them to 1-4. They play in Philadelphia next week before opening up AFC North play. The Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens visit Cleveland in weeks seven and eight.
