Instant analysis from Patriots’ 36-20 win over Raiders

The New England Patriots defeated the visiting Las Vegas Raiders, 36-20, Sunday afternoon at Gillette Stadium.

By ground and by timely turnovers.

Here’s a glance back as New England moves to 2-1 on the season.

Working on Waller

Raiders tight end Darren Waller accounted for 16 targets last Monday night. Those targets became 12 receptions for 105 yards and a touchdown. And during his video conference the following morning, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said, “I think it’s been such a long time since we’ve seen a guy like this.”

It grew unclear just how much New England would see of Waller.
