The Raiders are still perfect on the season, and reigning No. 1 overall draft pick Fernando Mendoza hasn't played a snap yet.
The Las Vegas Raiders have improved to a perfect 3-0 start this season with a thrilling comeback win over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. With a series of key fumbles by the Saints, the Raiders took advantage to defeat New Orleans 35-27 at the Caesars Superdome. Quarterback Tyler Shough put up a strong performance, throwing four touchdowns for the Saints, including two to tight ends Noah Fant and Juwan Johnson.
However, the Raiders capitalized on the turnovers, securing the victory with three quick possessions. Rookie Hezekiah Masses played a crucial role in the win by recovering two fumbles, setting up touchdowns for the Raiders. Despite Shough's impressive day, the Saints fell to 1-2 on the year, while the Raiders continue their impressive start under head coach Klint Kubiak.
