It’s not that all the questions about the Raiders’ defense have gone away, especially given the Patriots’ offensive ineptitude, but for one game, that side of the ball more than did its job. Las Vegas completely shut down New England in the second half, only allowing a late field goal after Sunday’s 20-13 victory was all but secured. The Patriots moved into scoring position for that kick because the Raiders played the clock game and allowed Drake Maye to complete a series of short passes.
