Las Vegas overcame a two-possession deficit to beat New Orleans 35-27 and move to 3-0 under first-year coach Klint Kubiak. The Raiders forced four fourth-quarter turnovers—three fumbles and an interception—while Kubiak directed two touchdown drives.
Tight end Brock Bowers made his season debut with 10 catches for 116 yards and a touchdown. He said a knee injury had bothered him during training camp and that he wanted to get it right before the long stretch of the season.
According to ESPN Analytics, as cited by Ryan McFadden, Las Vegas had a 6.7% chance to open the season 3-0.
