On Saturday night, the Las Vegas Raiders made easy work of the Los Angeles Rams, moving to 2-0 for the 2023 NFL preseason. Since taking over as head coach, Josh McDaniels has never lost a preseason game with the Raiders, and on Saturday, he moved his record to 6-0 across two summers.
4 Raiders whose stock soared during the 34-17 preseason win vs Rams
Isaiah Pola-Mao
We have been saying it for quite some time, and on Saturday night, Isaiah Pola-Mao showed why he could be a lock to make the 53-man roster when all is said and done. Safety has long been a problem for Las Vegas, but the team added Marcus Epps in free agency, and Christopher Smith II in the draft, while also getting strong play from Pola-Mao this summer.
Saturday night, Pola-Mao had the team's only interception, and proceeded to run it back 50 yards for a touchdown. This is a guy who has been getting the attention of many of the Raiders beat writers this summer, and the INT vs the Rams may have won him a spot on the roster for Week 1.
