Brown made his mark for New England, recording 87 receiving yards, highlighting the team's potential for big plays. Defensively, the Raiders effectively neutralized the Patriots' offense, limiting Rhamondre Stevenson to just 34 rushing yards. The turning point came in the second quarter when Mendoza threw a crucial touchdown, extending the lead and forcing New England to play catch-up. While Robert Spillane led the Patriots with eight tackles, it wasn't enough to overcome the Raiders' offensive dominance, as they controlled the game from start to finish.
