Las Vegas Raiders 2020 Week 2 review: Studs and Duds vs. New Orleans Saints

Duds

We are happy to report that there are no duds for the Las Vegas Raiders after that statement win against the New Orleans Saints. Sure there were players that struggled initially, or made some mistakes, but they almost all bounced back to contribute in meaningful ways to the victory.

Jalen Richard is a prime example, as his fumble in the beginning of the fourth quarter looked like it would be costly, but he bounced back with an incredible touchdown run to give the Raiders a two-score lead. Henry Ruggs was a candidate as he made little impact on the stat sheet, but he drew a pass interference with his speed to essentially seal the game for the Raiders.

It was a comprehensive team victory for the Raiders and one that should give them great momentum for the rest of the season.

Next. Las Vegas Raiders need to give Safety Earl Thomas a call. dark

Next up the Raiders travel to Massachusetts to take on Cam Newton and the New England Patriots. This one won’t be under the bright lights of Monday Night Football but the Silver and Black will be riding high after a big win over a quality opponent.
