LAS VEGAS – Once again, the Patriots did not have enough material to win a game, and this game was very winnable.
The inept Patriots of the last two weeks morphed back into the Week 1-2 Patriots, who can take an opponent to the brink before finally capitulating. This game didn’t have the horrific finish of last year’s game here at Allegiant Stadium, but the ending was still ghoulish for the Patriots with Halloween still two weeks away. Mac Jones was sacked in the end zone for a safety with just under two minutes left in the game, giving the Raiders a 21-17 win over the Patriots on Sunday afternoon on the Vegas strip.
