The Las Vegas Raiders escaped with a 20-13 win in Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season on the road against the New England Patriots. Not everything clicked for the Silver and Black, but they made enough halftime adjustments to separate in the second half and pull out the victory.
More impressive is that the Raiders did this without star tight end Brock Bowers in the fourth quarter. Fans did not see the injury happen, but Bowers apparently hurt his knee after a 38-yard catch and spent the rest of the contest going in and out of the blue medical tent.
