The Las Vegas Raiders showcased a significant shift in their offensive strategy during preseason, emphasizing quarterbacks working under center more frequently. In their first preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals on August 13, 2026, they recorded 63% of early downs under center, a notable increase from 43% in the previous preseason. This change aligns with the beginning of the Klint Kubiak era and suggests a tactical adjustment for the team moving forward. The Raiders are set to continue this strategic trend in their next matchup against the Houston Texans.
