Derek Carr, Jon Gruden silence critics in Raiders 34-24 victory over Saints

Looking Ahead

The New England Patriots have continued to play well without Tom Brady, as they defeated the Dolphins in Week 1, and suffered a heart breaking loss to the Seahawks on Sunday Night football. Cam Newton has stepped in and shown that he has something left in the tank, making plays with his arm, and his legs since arriving in New England.

The Raiders will have to find a way to continue to dominate on offense, as the Patriots will be led by arguably the best cornerback in the NFL in Stephon Gilmore. On the other side of the ball, the Raiders will have to continue to improve upon their defense, as the Patriots will be led by Newton and Julian Edelman, who are building some nice chemisty together.
