5 questions ahead of the Patriots’ preseason finale against the Raiders

After a week of practice at the facility Bill Belichick called the “Taj Mahal of football,” the Patriots will wrap up the preseason Friday night against the Josh McDaniels-led Las Vegas Raiders.

Days before the deadline to trim the roster to 53 players, this game is the last shot for several players to show they deserve a spot.

It’s also a chance to see if Mac Jones and the Patriots’ offense can string together a more consistent performance than last week against Carolina.

New England’s defense has been a strength this preseason, particularly on the defensive line.
