The New England Patriots and Las Vegas Raiders face off on Friday in an NFL preseason game at Allegiant Stadium. When these two teams faced off in September of 2020 it was the Patriots that were secured the 36-20 victory.
New England Patriots
The Patriots have played two preseason games so far this year, and they have gone 1-1. In the first game against the New York Giants they were defeated 23-21. In the last game against Carolina Panthers the defense looked good giving up only ten points and that led to the 10 point victory.
Mac Jones completed four of his eight passes for 61 yards. Bailey Zappe had a lot of playing time and he completed 16 of his 25 passes for zero touchdowns and one interception. Running back JJ Taylor had six carries for 33 yards.
Lil Jordan Humphrey had a big game catching five passes for 71 yards. Tre Nixton also caught six passes for 56 yards. In this game I wouldn’t expect to see any starters, and a lot of playing time for Zappe.
Las Vegas Raiders
On the other side of this matchup is the Raiders who have played three preseason games already this season and they were able to win all three games. The Raiders have wins over the Dolphins, Jaguars, and Vikings. Derek Carr hasn’t played yet this preseason and wont in this game. The Raiders also traded Nick Mullens to the Vikings.
In the last game Jarrett Stidham completed 7 of his 10 passes for 80 yards. Chase Garbers completed six of his nine passes for 54 yards. Running back Brittian Brown had nine rushes for 70 yards. Wide receiver Jesper Horsted also caught three passes for 53 yards. In this game the Raiders need the offense to be good.
