4. RAIDERS RUN AWAY WITH IT
The Raiders had help from a big 28-yard play between Smith and Tucker help set them up for a field goal to start the fourth, making it a two-score game at 20-10.
Maye and Diggs connected for a 16-yard pass on the next drive, but the quarterback took a sack immediately after. The contact caused a fumble, but rookie Will Campbell jumped on it to maintain possession. A false-start penalty on the offense after that made it fourth-and-10, cueing Bryce Baringer and the special teams for a punt.
Smith then threw a 36-yard completion off his back foot to Dont’e Thornton Jr. which seemed to seal the deal. Vegas wouldn’t score again, but the deficit was too much for New England to come back from in two minutes, though it made a good effort on the final drive. Borregales’ 44-yard field goal with 19 seconds left made it a 20-13 game.
