Derek Carr, Raiders Defeat Drew Brees, Saints to Win 1st Game in Las Vegas

Las Vegas clearly suits the Raiders.

The Raiders defeated the New Orleans Saints 34-24 in Monday's inter-conference showdown, which was the first-ever game in Allegiant Stadium. Las Vegas is 2-0 on the season with two wins over NFC South foes after Derek Carr and Darren Waller led the way in the latest effort.

New Orleans was without star wide receiver Michael Thomas and fell to 1-1 on the campaign despite a solid showing from Alvin Kamara.

What's Next?

Both teams are in action in Week 3 when the Raiders are at the New England Patriots and the Saints host the Green Bay Packers.
