Patriots host Raiders in an important AFC matchup
The New England Patriots host the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, Oct.
11, at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
New England is 2-2 after beating the previously undefeated Buffalo Bills, while Las Vegas lost its first game of the season to the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Patriots need another strong game from quarterback Drake Maye to show that the win over Buffalo was not a one-off.
New England has thrown seven interceptions, and the Raiders have four interceptions, so protecting the ball could be important.
The Raiders have a strong pass rush led by Maxx Crosby, putting pressure on the Patriots’ offensive line to protect Maye.
Both teams have injury concerns, including several Patriots defenders and Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty, who is questionable.
The game is scheduled for 1 p.m.
ET and will air on CBS and stream on Paramount+.
