The Las Vegas Raiders have another early season test as they travel to New England to take on new Quarterback Cam Newton, Bill Belichick and the Patriots.

The Las Vegas Raiders will hit the road in Week 3, as they travel to the East coast for the second time this season to take on the New England Patriots. These teams have history to say the least, stemming back to the “Tuck Rule” game, and we will continue to hear about that as the years go on.

It was a fumble.

This New England team has a completely different and intriguing look to it as a run heavy offense. Cam Newton has played well in his return from the shoulder injuries that’s plagued him these past few years, and will present a whole new test for this young Raiders defense.

Last weekend, he and his Patriots took the Seattle Seahawks down to the wire on Sunday night, as Newton showed that he can get the job done with his arm, and his legs. The Raiders are coming off a shocking victory in Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints, and will look to continue to shock people this weekend as an underdog against the Patriots.

Here are some things to look for in Week 3.
