Winners and losers from 49ers vs. Raiders preseason finale: Eddy Pineiro perfect
A look at the winners and losers from the San Francisco 49ers' preseason finale against the Las Vegas Raiders.
The San Francisco 49ers claimed a narrow 18-12 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders in their preseason finale on August 27 at Allegiant Stadium in Nevada. Eddy Piñeiro, the 49ers' kicker, had a stellar performance, going 6-for-6 on field goals, including three 50-yarders and a 54-yarder, which sealed the win with 1:51 left on the clock. However, the Raiders managed to tie the game with a 48-yard field goal by Matt Gay with 7:38 remaining.
The 49ers' impressive running back corps displayed depth and reliability, as rookie Kaelon Black averaged 7 yards per carry and Jordan James added 35 rushing yards on eight attempts. Veteran Khalil Herbert contributed 40 yards on six carries. The team's defense held strong, stopping the Raiders' attempts and securing the win. The only touchdowns of the game came from the 49ers through Piñeiro's field goals.
The Raiders, meanwhile, struggled with their quarterback play, as rookie Fernando Mendoza had a disappointing performance with a 31.0 quarterback rating, only 7 completions on 14 passes for 57 yards, and was intercepted late in the first quarter. The Raiders also committed nine penalties totaling 84 yards, which may be areas to address before their regular-season opener.
