Brock Bowers gets high praise from Geno Smith after 2-TD day

ByNBAUSA



The Las Vegas Raiders lost to LLos Angeles Chargers 31-14 on Sunday, falling to 2-10 on the season. While it was a losing season for Vegas, they have a superstar offensive line that showed off his talent in Week 13. Brock Bowers scored two touchdowns on Sunday, and the quarterback Geno Smith praised him for performance.

“Brock Bowers is a great player. We see it week in and week out. He plays all over the field. He does things that a lot of guys can’t do. We’ve got to keep finding ways to get him in space and get the ball. But he’s a great player,” Smith said in his press conference, per Nick Walters.

The The Raiders fired offensive coordinator Chip Kelly after a dismal Week 12 loss to the Cleveland Browns. With Greg Olson calling the games on Sunday, things weren’t much better. But they targeted Bowers in the red zone, which has been a complaint in the past. The sophomore tight end caught two touchdowns, including a catch of the year candidate.

Bowers broke all kinds of rookie records last year, but had a disappointing sophomore campaign. A knee injury limited his ability for several weeks before landing on the shelf. In his first game back, he caught three touchdowns against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Those were his only three touchdowns of the season before Sunday’s explosion.

The Raiders are coming off a losing season. Both Smith and head coach Pete Carroll could be out after just one year in Vegas. But Bowers, along with defensive end Max Crosby and linebacker Ashton Ginty, is a building block. His epic day on Sunday is just another highlight on his already long reel. Can the Raiders make the most of his career in the near future?
