From the article

Mendoza authored perhaps their best offensive play, dropping a 25-yard dime into the arms of tight end Brock Bowers. But neither quarterback could escape the problems happening in front of him... Mendoza misread the location of Texans safety Jalen Pitre, then forced the ball to Jeanty near the Houston goal line, throwing it directly into the arms of Pitre, who took it the distance for a touchdown.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalMatchup

Mendoza threw pick-six to Jalen Pitre but also had a 25-yard TD pass to Bowers.

Mendoza threw a costly pick-six during joint practice against Houston when he misread the location of Texans safety Jalen Pitre and forced the ball to Ashton Jeanty near the Houston goal line, throwing it directly into Pitre's arms for a touchdown return. Despite also dropping a 25-yard dime to tight end Brock Bowers on perhaps the Raiders' best offensive play, he struggled to operate against the Texans' fierce pass rush.
