For the first time in three career starts, Raiders rookie quarterback Matt McGloin failed to throw a touchdown pass during a 31-24 loss Week 13 at Dallas. McGloin completed 18 of 30 passes for one interception.
McGloin was credited with a 16-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Andre Holmes in the second quarter. However, the play was reviewed and the officials took the touchdown away after ruling Holmes' knee was down before he stretched the football across the goal line. One play later, Rashad Jennings had a 1-yard touchdown run.
McGloin had an efficient first half, completing 11 of 15 passes for 146 yards. He had a 103.8 quarterback rating as Oakland led 21-14 at the half.
McGloin was going for his first touchdown pass in the second half when a 20-yard pass into the end zone targeted for Jacoby Ford was picked off by Dallas cornerback Brandon Carr. It was McGloin's second interception in as many games.
The Raiders are back in action Week 14 at N.Y. Jets.
