Overview

  • The Raiders improved to 3-0 after a 35-27 comeback over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, a win sealed by multiple fourth-quarter turnovers that erased an 11-point deficit.
  • Quarterback Kirk Cousins has thrown three touchdown passes in each of Las Vegas's first three games, a start no other QB has had with a new team, and he leads the league with nine touchdown passes.
  • Las Vegas leads the NFL with nine takeaways and a +5 turnover differential through three games, an identity that has produced late-game chances and fueled consecutive wins.
  • Tight end Brock Bowers returned from knee surgery and caught 10 passes for 116 yards and a touchdown in Week 3 while wide receiver Jack Bech suffered a forearm fracture that could land him on injured reserve.
  • The Raiders host the 3-0 Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday with FanDuel opening Kansas City as a 4.5-point favorite, a matchup that will decide sole possession of the AFC West and offer an early gauge of how sustainable Las Vegas's turnaround is.
