In an impressive display of offensive firepower, the New England Patriots topped the Las Vegas Raiders 45-29 in Week 5 of the 2026 season. With both teams looking to solidify their playoff positions, the Patriots emerged victorious, showcasing their ability to score at will against a struggling Raiders defense. Drew Allar led the Patriots' offensive charge with three touchdown passes, while Brock Purdy of the Raiders put up a valiant effort with 405 passing yards, though it ultimately wasn’t enough. Jaylen Waddle was the standout receiver for Las Vegas, racking up 188 receiving yards and keeping the game competitive. However, the Patriots' ability to convert touchdowns proved decisive. Defensively, New England made key plays that shifted momentum, highlighted by Caleb Ransaw's two interceptions, which stifled the Raiders' late-game drives. Byron Murphy II added a sack to the mix, further complicating Las Vegas’ passing game. The turning point came in the third quarter when Ransaw’s second pick set up another touchdown for the Patriots, stretching their lead and putting the game out of reach for the Raiders.
