Raiders-Patriots recap: What they’re saying, defense holds strong to seal win

It took six weeks but the Las Vegas Raiders finally did it, they scored more than 20 points!

The Raiders took a 13-3 lead into the locker room at halftime, but they didn’t return with starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo as Garoppolo suffered a back injury and Brian Hoyer ended up finishing the game.

While Hoyer was much more efficient with six completions on 10 attempts for 102 yards (10.2 yards per attempt) compared to Jimmy G’s 14 of 22 for 162 yards (7.4 YPA), the offense still struggled to put points on the board.

The contest was dominated by defense and field goals as Las Vegas only converted one of its six red zone opportunities into a touchdown, going one for four with Garoppolo under center and 0-2 with Hoyer in the game.
