Brock Bowers returned from injury with 10 catches for 116 yards and a touchdown as the Las Vegas Raiders beat New Orleans 35-27 to reach 3-0. He said he was not surprised by the offense’s success in his two-game absence, adding, “they can do without me.”
Kirk Cousins threw for 248 yards and three touchdowns in his first regular-season game with Bowers. He called the tight end an outstanding player but said they had not yet built as many practice reps together as he wanted.
Bowers praised the Raiders’ play on both sides of the ball, including a defense producing turnovers, and noted they had won two tough road games in a row. Las Vegas is set to host the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 4.
