With Aidan O'Connell and Gardner Minshew locked in a quarterback competition, Las Vegas Raiders coach Antonio Pierce said the goal is to announce a starter following the team's next exhibition game, at home Saturday against the Dallas Cowboys. "We've got to get ready to play football, and I think we've got enough film," Pierce said Sunday, a day after the team's 24-23 loss at the Minnesota Vikings. "We'll have two games here [by then] to evaluate both quarterbacks to see how they'll play." O'Connell started the preseason opener at Minnesota and played one quarter, completing 7 of 9 passes for 76 yards in leading the Raiders on an 83-yard, 15-play drive that took 7:42 off the clock and resulted in a field goal. He led the Raiders from their own 4-yard line to the Vikings' 3-yard line before taking a 10-yard sack on third-and-goal, after left tackle Andrus Peat was beaten by Dallas Turner.
