The Lions covered 263 yards in the first half and led 9-7 until its first touchdown of the game with 27 seconds left in the first half.
The Raiders are now falling to 3-5 after a second straight loss, Jimmy Garoppolo going 10-for-21 for 126 yards and an interception.
NFL fans are enraged with Raiders’ Garoppolo and were blasted after the quarterback had only a 46.9 rating after the loss to the Lions.
The Raiders’ best chance to come back from last week’s yet another embarrassing loss and have a winning season was on the shoulder of Garoppolo.
He missed last week’s defeat by the Chicago Bears due to injury and as hoped fails, he had arguably the worst performance of his career on Monday night.
Garoppolo said after practice on Thursday,
“I think there’s always a place for that. There’s never one thing that’s like. If we fix this, we’ll be good. Everyone wants it to be like that be a quick fix, that kind of world we live in now, but it’s not like that. It’s a process.”
In the first half, he completed just 3-of-8 passes for 31 yards with no touchdowns and an interception, and didn’t even complete a pass to a WR in the first two quarters.
Jimmy G is washed up. He should be arrested for stealing money from the Raiders. And fire McDaniels while you're at it.

Fans are not thrilled with his performance and didn’t hold to comment on social, one wrote,
“Jimmy G is washed up. He should be arrested for stealing money from the Raiders. And fire McDaniels while you’re at it.”
In the past, Garoppolo has finished with ratings not lower than 85 in every single game this season, except for just two contests.
