Fernando Mendoza led the Raiders' offense with an efficient 173 passing yards, while Ashton Jeanty stole the spotlight on the ground, racking up 107 rushing yards. Malik Willis managed to throw for one touchdown for the Dolphins, but the Las Vegas defense kept the pressure on throughout the game, limiting Miami's offensive opportunities. Defensively, the Dolphins put forth a valiant effort, highlighted by Jacob Rodriguez's nine total tackles and Jordyn Brooks' 1.5 sacks. However, it was the Raiders' ability to force turnovers and control the game that proved crucial. Miami's struggles on offense became apparent in the second half, ultimately turning the tide in favor of Las Vegas as they held off any comeback attempts from the Dolphins.
