Mendoza Under Pressure in Preseason | Las Vegas Raiders News

Fernando Mendoza’s preseason has been a pressure cooker—literally and figuratively. Under duress, he’s completing just 36% of his passes, averaging a dismal 3.5 yards per attempt, and throwing an interception. Sacked twice and hit nine times, he ranks dead last among 45 quarterbacks in efficiency when pressured. His struggles were on full display against the Texans, including a pick-six and a crucial sack that killed a drive. But there’s hope: when he’s got time, he flashes potential. As a mobile QB, he needs to use his legs to survive—and thrive—under fire. One more game against the 49ers could be his turning point before the regular season begins.
