Raiders Narrowly Miss Victory in Minneapolis, Fall to Vikings 23-24

In a closely contested match that saw the Las Vegas Raiders and the Minnesota Vikings go head-to-head, the game ended with a nail-biting finish of 23-24 in favor of the home team. The Raiders now stand at a record of 0-1 following this opening week encounter at U.S. Bank Stadium, witnessed by an attendance of 66,704 fans.

The Las Vegas Raiders showcased a determined effort throughout the game. Punter AJ Cole had an impressive performance with six attempts totaling 312 yards, ensuring three punts landed inside the 20-yard line and netting an average of 49 yards per punt. On defense, Tre'von Moehrig led with six tackles and contributed to one pass defended, highlighting his pivotal role in attempting to stifle the Vikings' offensive advances.

Offensively, Gardner Minshew II stood out for the Raiders by completing half of his passes for a total of 117 yards and throwing for one touchdown. His longest pass was a notable 44-yard completion which also resulted in the team's only passing touchdown. Zamir White's efforts on the ground were commendable as well; he rushed for 23 yards across six attempts and scored one rushing touchdown.

Despite these individual performances, it was not enough to secure victory against The Minnesota Vikings who edged out with just one point lead. The defensive unit managed to intercept one pass but struggled to consistently pressure Minnesota’s quarterback or significantly disrupt their offensive strategy.
