It wasn’t even two weeks ago that the Raider signed cornerback Brandon Facyson. And Sunday the fourth-year cornerback stepped into a big role with the team.
The former Chargers corner came in off the street on October 6, four days prior to the team’s week five meeting with the Bears. That game he saw only six snaps, all on special teams.
Facyson didn’t get the start Sunday against the Broncos either. It was Amik Robertson getting his second start due to injuries to Trayvon Mullen and Damon Arnette. But not long into the game, Robertson was struggling both against the pass and the run and was pulled from the game, giving Facyson his shot to see what he can provide.
On the first drive of the game with Facyson on the field, he picked off Broncos QB Teddy Bridgewater. It was the first interception of Facyson’s career. He finished out the game, playing 59 snaps (73%) with the one pick and two pass breakups. Robertson saw just 13 snaps (16%).
Here are all the Raiders snap counts for the game:
