Raiders shift to 63% under-center rate under Kubiak; significant scheme change for Mendoza.

The Raiders are expected to feature their quarterback working under center significantly more in 2026 under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak. In the first preseason game against Arizona, Mendoza's team placed the quarterback under center 63 percent of early downs in the first half, up from 43 percent during the previous year's preseason under Chip Kelly—a 20 percent increase that ranked among the highest in the league in Week 1 of the 2026 preseason. This trend is expected to continue into the regular season.
