"The Patriots' Drake Maye had picked apart the Raiders for much of the first half, completing 15 of 20 passes for 150 yards and a touchdown. But the second-year quarterback made a costly mistake on the opening drive of the third quarter, and Las Vegas took advantage. Maye's third-down pass attempt sailed over wide receiver Stefon Diggs and was intercepted by safety Isaiah Pola-Mao."
"Las Vegas will certainly face tougher offenses throughout the regular season. But the defense's performance in the second half against New England was an encouraging sign for a unit that lost eight starters in the offseason. "Defense did a tremendous job in the second half to hold them down, getting off the field on the third downs and all of that, just playing tough as heck," Carroll said."
The Las Vegas Raiders rallied in the second half to overcome an early deficit and defeat the New England Patriots 20-13 at Gillette Stadium. Drake Maye completed 15 of 20 passes for 150 yards and a touchdown in the first half but threw a costly third-quarter interception when his pass to Stefon Diggs sailed over and was picked off by Isaiah Pola-Mao. The turnover sparked Las Vegas to score 10 unanswered points while the defense limited New England to a single field goal in the final two quarters. The Raiders' improved pass rush, mixed pressures and coverages out of halftime created disruption, a notable outcome for a unit that lost eight starters in the offseason and earned the team's first win under coach Pete Carroll.
