"Carroll thought Smith played well for the most part despite the circumstances. Smith played behind an offensive line that featured backup left tackle Stone Forsythe and backup center Will Putnam with starters Kolton Miller and Jackson Powers-Johnson on the injured reserve list. Smith completed 27 of 42 passes (64.3%) for 238 yards, a touchdown and a passer rating of 77.3. He was sacked four times and pressured on 16 of 49 dropbacks."
"The Raiders' game plan reflected Carroll's confidence in Smith. They went with a designed pass on 84% of their plays -- the team's highest rate in a game since 2012. Las Vegas ran the ball 12 times for 27 yards. Smith's interception came in the second quarter when he tried to force the ball to tight end Brock Bowers down the field. Cowboys linebacker Kenneth Murray Jr. tipped Smith's pass, and then the ball was intercepted by Cowboys safety Markquese Bell."
