Final Score: Las Vegas Raiders 20, New England Patriots 13 Date: September 7, 2025 | Venue: Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, MA | Attendance: 64,628 | Broadcast: CBS | Duration: 3:04
Geno Smith threw for 362 yards and produced nine completions of 20 or more yards — the most by a Raiders quarterback in a single game since at least 1991 — in his Las Vegas debut, as the Raiders rallied from a 10-7 third-quarter deficit to beat the New England Patriots 20-13 on September 7, 2025. Isaiah Pola-Mao’s interception off Drake Maye early in the third quarter ended New England’s final lead; the Raiders scored 13 unanswered points the rest of the way and never trailed again.

Smith averaged 10.6 yards per attempt against Maye’s 6.2 — a gap the final score of seven points only partly reflected. Maye’s 30 completions set a career high but required 46 attempts, and his 42.0 QBR tracked New England’s inability to move the ball consistently after falling behind.

Bowers led the team with 103 yards on five catches before leaving the fourth quarter with a knee injury. Meyers drew the most targets of any receiver in the game at 10, converting eight for 97 yards — including back-to-back gains of 23 and 19 yards immediately after Pola-Mao’s interception that set up Jeanty’s go-ahead score. Tucker caught the game’s first touchdown, a 26-yarder in the opening quarter.

White led Las Vegas with 11 tackles. Crosby, Koonce, Tyree Wilson and Laulu each recorded a sack. Crosby’s first-quarter sack moved him past 60 career sacks since 2019 — a threshold reached in that span by only T.J. Watt, Myles Garrett, Trey Hendrickson and Nick Bosa.

New England went 4-of-14 on third down and converted one of three red zone trips. Smith’s 71.1 QBR against Maye’s 42.0 reflected a gap the seven-point final margin only partly captured. Crosby’s first-quarter sack moved him past 60 career sacks since 2019, placing him alongside T.J. Watt, Myles Garrett, Trey Hendrickson and Nick Bosa as the only players to reach that number over that stretch. Pete Carroll took his first win as Raiders head coach; Mike Vrabel absorbed his first loss as Patriots head coach.
Claire R. Conant is the founder and editor of The Press Row. Born and raised in New York, she spent years covering professional sports across multiple leagues before launching this publication in April 2026, largely out of frustration with a sports media industry that had decided moving fast mattered more than being right. Her reporting covers the NFL, NBA, MLB, cricket, and international football, and every figure published under her byline is verified against official data before the piece moves. She started The Press Row because she believed readers who actually understood the game deserved a publication built to the same standard. That standard has not changed since day one, and it applies to every writer on staff.
