Oakland, Calif. • Jared Goff threw two touchdown passes, newcomer Marcus Peters returned an interception 50 yards for a touchdown and the Los Angeles Rams spoiled coach Jon Gruden’s much-anticipated return to the Oakland sideline by beating the Raiders 33-13 on Monday night.
The Rams (1-0) scored on a 19-yard shovel pass from Goff to Todd Gurley in the first quarter and an 8-yard strike to Cooper Kupp in the third to win in Gruden’s first game as coach of the Raiders (0-1) since the end of the 2001 season.
Gruden was traded to Tampa Bay after that season and beat the Raiders in the Super Bowl the following year.
