Raiders' Defensive Prowess

Special Teams Excellence

His precision kicking ensured that every scoring opportunity translated into points on the board for Las Vegas.


Aidan O'Connell’s performance under center was efficient as he completed 20 out of 35 passes for 242 yards and two touchdowns without throwing an interception which resulted in an impressive passer rating of 97.6 percent.
