The Las Vegas Raiders edged out a victory in Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season against the New England Patriots. Many thought it was a good win at the time, but it already looks better just a week later after the Patriots won in Week 2.
Las Vegas pulled out a win despite lacking in several key aspects of the game. Coverage in the secondary was not quite as sticky as it could have been, and the offensive line struggled, primarily with run-blocking, but in pass protection at times as well.
Things will not be any easier as the Los Angeles Chargers come to town in Week 2, so somebody other than Kolton Miller will have to step up on the offensive line for the Raiders.
