The game at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium saw the Las Vegas Raiders take control early on, with their offense amassing 321 total yards. The ground game was particularly effective, contributing 159 yards to the tally. The rushing unit crossed into the end zone three times, with one run breaking for a notable 12-yard touchdown. On top of that, their passing game added another dimension to their attack as they completed 20 passes for an average gain of over ten yards per reception.


Defensively, the Raiders were just as formidable. They recorded one sack and forced two turnovers – one interception and one fumble recovery – which they turned into points on both occasions. Their ability to stop drives was evident in their four successful pass defenses and a critical fourth-down stop that shifted momentum.


Special teams also played its part; Daniel Carlson nailed both field goal attempts he made, including an impressive longest kick from beyond 50 yards out. This performance contributed six crucial points to the scoreboard for Las Vegas.


The Jacksonville Jaguars had moments where they showed potential but ultimately could not keep pace with the home team's intensity. Their defense managed five sacks against Derek Carr but failed to capitalize on these opportunities by allowing three rushing touchdowns.


As fans look ahead, anticipation builds for the upcoming match where Las Vegas will face off against Minnesota Vikings at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on August 14th at 8:25 PM local time. This encounter can be caught live by fans on NFL Network via satellite channel 212.
