The Las Vegas Raiders emerged victorious in Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season against the New England Patriots. While the offense certainly had its share of issues in that game, they were masked by the fact that the defense played well enough to pull out a 20-13 win.
New offensive coordinator Chip Kelly has certainly had his moments through two games, and his halftime adjustments against the Patriots were paramount in the win. But he and the offense took a major step back in Week 2's embarrassing 20-9 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers at home.
Brock Bowers was definitely not at 100%, and Geno Smith made a series of erratic decisions against the Chargers.
