Klint Kubiak's Las Vegas Raiders didn't put together the effort that they would have liked to in the preseason opener against the Arizona Cardinals, dropping the game 27-14. Although there were plenty of positives to take away from the contest, Kubiak probably wants his first win out of the way.
And even though preseason wins aren't nearly as important as the team and coaching staff growing and getting more cohesive, it is still important for morale and culture to get on the correct side of the win-loss column. After a beatdown at joint practice with the Houston Texans, a win may be very nice.
It is unknown how much the Raiders' starters will play in this contest, if at all, but a young Silver and Black squad still has plenty of big storylines to monitor. Don't miss a single one of them when Las Vegas takes on Houston in preseason Week 2. Here's how you can catch that game, any way you like.
