The Las Vegas Raiders moved to a 3-0 record in the 2026 season following a 35-27 victory over the New Orleans Saints. This marks a significant improvement, as the Raiders matched their win total from the previous season, where they finished 3-14. Veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins had a strong performance, throwing for 248 yards and three touchdowns.
