The Las Vegas Raiders faced off against the San Francisco 49ers in a preseason matchup at Allegiant Stadium. The game ended with a score of 22-19 in favor of the Niners, bringing their preseason record to 2-0, while the Raiders fell to 1-1.

First Quarter

The opening quarter saw both teams testing their offensive strategies. The Silver and Black's defense made an early impact with Andre Carter II recording a sack for a loss of six yards. Despite this strong defensive start, the Niners managed to put points on the board through efficient passing plays.

Second Quarter

In the second quarter, Daniel Carlson showcased his kicking prowess by converting two field goals from beyond 39 yards. However, it was not enough to outpace San Francisco's offense led by precise throws that resulted in multiple first downs. Aidan O'Connell struggled under pressure but managed to complete several key passes.

Third Quarter

As play resumed after halftime, Las Vegas continued its defensive efforts with Charles Snowden leading tackles and contributing significantly on defense with six tackles overall. Yet again, Carlson added three more points for his team through another successful field goal attempt from over 50 yards out.

Fourth Quarter

The final period saw increased intensity as both teams vied for control. Dylan Laube contributed five rushing yards and secured one first down during crucial moments of play. An interception by Jeremy Chinn provided hope for Raider fans but ultimately did not shift momentum enough towards victory.

Despite falling short at home against their rivals from California’s Bay Area region – known colloquially as ‘Niners’ – there were promising signs within certain aspects such as special teams performance where kicker Daniel Carlson remained perfect throughout all attempts made during this contest; however improvements need addressing before next week’s clash against Arizona Cardinals scheduled August 23rd at State Farm Stadium Glendale AZ broadcast live via NFL Network satellite channel number two hundred twelve starting ten PM Eastern Daylight Time (EDT).
