Summary
Las Vegas moved to 3-0 after a 35-27 comeback win at New Orleans, a result that turned early skepticism into belief the Raiders may be for real.
Klint Kubiak's arrival and sharper free-agency decisions have driven the turnaround from last season's 3-14 collapse, with Kirk Cousins stabilizing the offense while top pick Fernando Mendoza sits.
Four fourth-quarter takeaways against the Saints highlighted the biggest change: a defense ranked second in the NFL in EPA allowed per play after last year's struggles.
Brock Bowers added 116 yards and a touchdown, and the offense sits 16th in EPA per play despite playing two games without him.
Sunday's home game against 3-0 Kansas City now looms as the Raiders' biggest test since moving to Las Vegas in 2020.
