The Las Vegas Raiders played at the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Here is everything to need to know about the game:
First quarter
The Raiders won the con flip, but deferred to the second half.
The Eagles cruised down the field on a 13-play, 67-yard drive that took seven minutes, nine seconds off the clock. They were three of three on third down. The opening drive on defense and third-down defense have been a big problem in the past three games for the Raiders.
Raiders quarterback Kenny Pickett, playing for the injured Geno Smith, looked comfortable on the opening rive. His used his mobility and scrambled for a first down. The Eagles then sacked Pickett on third down, but a silly penalty in the Eagles’ secondary kept the drive alive. But Las Vegas couldn’t take advantage as the offensive line struggled. They went for it on fourth and six and a Pickett pass was batted down. The Eagles took over at their 33.
The Eagles quickly struck with DeVonta Smith getting past Raiders’ rookie cornerback Darien Porter on a 44-yard pass from Jalen Hurts to to the Raiders’ 22-yard line.
Second quarter:
Porter then committed pass interference on third down near the goal line to give Philadelphia a first down. Maxx Crosby then came through on third down with a sack of Hurts to force a field goal. The Eagles are now up 10-0.
The Raiders’ offense then went three and out.
The Eagles then went three and out.
