The New England Patriots are in Las Vegas this week for two joint practices with the Raiders before they square off in their third and final preseason game Friday night.
It will be the first time the Patriots have played the Raiders franchise on the road since 2011, when these teams played a Week 4 regular season game in Oakland. The Raiders moved from Oakland to Las Vegas after the 2019 campaign.
The Patriots and Raiders are two historic AFC franchises with a rich tradition that spans many decades. Just seeing the Raiders logo this week made Patriots head coach Bill Belichick think of the organization's history.
