Las Vegas opened up a commanding lead by scoring on its opening three possessions while Jacksonville struggled.

The Raiders arrived ready to play straight away. Even without key players like Darren Waller, Davante Adams, and Derek Carr, Las Vegas' offence was well-oiled from the outset.

Even though the Raiders were up against reserves, they still put forth a valiant effort.

The iconic Tom Benson HOF Stadium in Canton, Ohio will host tonight's Jaguars vs. Raiders live stream.

While warming up, Derek Carr and Davante Adams were unable to play their first game together since Fresno State.

Trevor Lawrence of Jacksonville started as the backup quarterback and sported a backward cap on the sidelines.

Due to the inclement rain forcing spectators to seek cover, the NFL's first preseason game started 40 minutes later than scheduled.

The game's high point was irrelevant. On the penultimate play of the third quarter, Jacksonville's Willie Johnson returned a punt 88 yards for a score, but it was called back due to a holding penalty.

After Urban Meyer, who stayed just 11 months, had a dismal 2021 season, Pederson has already altered Jacksonville's culture.
