FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The Las Vegas Raiders hit a switch defensively in the second half of Sunday's season-opener against the New England Patriots and never looked back.
The Patriots' Drake Maye had picked apart the Raiders for much of the first half, completing 15 of 20 passes for 150 yards and a touchdown. But the second-year quarterback made a costly mistake on the opening drive of the third quarter, and Las Vegas took advantage.
Maye's third-down pass attempt sailed over wide receiver Stefon Diggs and was intercepted by safety Isaiah Pola-Mao.
