When the New England Patriots show up at Allegiant Stadium on Sunday for their 4:05 p.m. matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders, there will be more than a few familiar faces on the opposing sideline.
That starts with Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels, who spent 18 years on Belichick's coaching staff in one role or another, eventually rising to offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. Las Vegas is McDaniels' second head-coaching post, having led the Broncos for two seasons (2009, 2010) before taking the OC job for the St. Louis Rams for a season, then returning to New England for 10 more seasons.
