Geno Smith Reflects on Brutal Interception Night: "I’m Owning It, and I’ll Bounce Back Stronger"
After a brutal performance that saw him throw multiple interceptions—reminiscent of a rare stat last seen in 1982—Raiders quarterback Geno Smith was quick to take accountability for his struggles, reflecting on the game and focusing on his determination to improve.
“It was a tough night, no doubt,” Smith said, addressing the media after the game. “I made some bad decisions, and the interceptions are on me. But this game won’t define me. I’m owning it, learning from it, and I’ll come back better next time. That’s the mindset I have going forward.”
Smith, who had previously been steady under center for the Raiders, found himself in a difficult situation against the opposing defense, making errant throws that led to turnovers. Despite the tough outing, he was quick to put things into perspective and vowed to work through the mistakes.
“Every quarterback goes through tough games, and this was one of mine,” Smith continued. “I’ll learn from this and make sure I don’t repeat the same mistakes. I know I’m capable of better, and my teammates know that too. It’s about bouncing back, focusing on the next game, and showing what I can really do.”
The Raiders have faced challenges this season, and Smith’s leadership is more important than ever as the team looks to get back on track. Despite the mistakes, Smith has always been praised for his resilience, and this moment is no different. His ability to take ownership of his performance and his determination to improve only further solidify his role as the team’s leader.
“It's part of the game. You can't dwell on the bad plays,” Smith said. “I’m going to stay focused, keep working hard in practice, and I know I’ll come back stronger. I’m not going to let one game dictate my future.”
As the Raiders look ahead to their next matchup, Smith’s commitment to improvement and his leadership will be crucial. While this game may have been a setback, Geno Smith’s resolve to learn and grow will drive him to bounce back, proving that every great quarterback has the ability to rise above their struggles.
“We’ve got a lot of football left to play,” Smith concluded. “And I’m ready to lead this team to where we want to go.”
With Smith's attitude and determination, the Raiders are poised to recover from this tough outing and return to their winning ways.
Jordan Love playfully mocks Bill’s Week 5 NFL picks, hinting that the Packers are about to prove the doubters wrong. "I guess he’s got a lot to learn. We’ve got big plans this season."
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love had a playful response to Bill’s Week 5 NFL predictions, taking a lighthearted jab at his picks and showing that the Packers are ready to prove the doubters wrong.

With the Packers’ offense starting to click and Love continuing to grow into his role as the team’s leader, the quarterback is confident that the Packers will silence any skeptics in Week 5 and beyond. While Bill’s picks might not have had the Packers at the top, Love’s focus remains on executing the game plan and improving each week.
“We’re not worried about what anyone else thinks,” Love continued. “We’ve got a lot of talent, and the team is coming together. It’s all about us—what we can control, and how we can perform at our best. We’re ready to take on any challenge, starting with Week 5.”
The Packers’ Week 5 matchup has high stakes, but Love’s confidence in his team is unwavering. With his leadership and focus on continuing to build chemistry with his teammates, the Packers are looking to make a statement this season.

As the Packers head into Week 5, Love’s confident and playful attitude is exactly what the team needs to stay motivated and focused on their goals. The Packers are gearing up for what could be a breakout season, and with Love at the helm, the sky’s the limit for Green Bay.
