#Raiders tie it up with a field goal, but that was on Kubiak for not challenging. Second week in a row he had a play he should have challenged and didn't.

Matt Gay 41-yard field goal is good and #Raiders go up 3-0 on their opening drive.

First play of the game for the #Raiders is to Brock Bowers for eight yards.

LFG!! #raidernation #Raiders ☠️

Brock Bowers to play. ⚔️💀

"Coach Klint Kubiak said this week that he was optimistic about Bowers' return, and the Raiders did not elevate a tight end for game day like in previous weeks." tinyurl.com/3uxy2t8w

Note to Raiders: no surgeries days before the season starts.

When New Orleans has the ball: the #1 passing offense and 5.5 plays of 20+ yards a game (#2) against a Raiders pass defense ranked #10. The Saints' run game is #28, so if Tyler Shough is slowed down, they go one-dimensional. #NFL #Raiders #Saints

When Las Vegas has the ball: Kirk Cousins leads the NFL with 6 touchdown passes, and New Orleans gives up 136.5 rushing yards a game (#26). If the Raiders can run, it opens everything else up. #NFL #Raiders #Saints
