At Highmark Stadium, the Las Vegas Raiders struggled to find their rhythm against the Buffalo Bills. The Raiders' offense managed to accumulate a total of 240 yards with an average gain of six yards per play. Despite their efforts, turnovers proved costly as they gave up three during the game – two interceptions and one lost fumble out of one total fumble.
The passing attack for the Raiders saw them complete 16 out of 24 attempts resulting in one touchdown pass and a completion percentage rounding up to 67 percent.

Field goal kicking was perfect on this occasion with one successful attempt from within forty-nine yards contributing three points.
Defensively, while managing two sacks totaling seven sack-yards and forcing four tackles for loss totaling fourteen negative yardage against opponents, it wasn't enough to stifle Buffalo's offense effectively throughout all four quarters. The defense made fifty-two tackles combined but only defended two passes without securing any interceptions or forced fumbles.
