Raiders aim for better starts under new coach Klint Kubiak in 2026

The Las Vegas Raiders, led by new head coach Klint Kubiak, seek to improve their performance in 2026, particularly by starting games more effectively. In 2025, the team fell behind early, totaling a minus-43 point differential in the first quarter across all games, marking one of the worst rates in the NFL. Kubiak previously oversaw the Seattle Seahawks, who led the league with a plus-55 points in the first quarter last season. Improving fast starts will be crucial for the Raiders as they build towards a more competitive season.
