The New England Patriots lost 20-13 at home in the first game of the 2025 season to the Las Vegas Raiders. Funny, but the game didn't seem that close. The Raiders seemed to be the antithesis of the Patriots on both sides of the ball. It was a far cry from some of the expectations.
The black and silver offense made plays on both sides of the ball. Superstar Brock Bowers (who was injured, hope he's OK), Jacobi Meyers, and company had their way with the Patriots' defense all day long. They made big plays when they needed them.
