Quarterback Josh Allen led the charge for the Bills, throwing for two touchdowns and contributing to a powerful offensive display. James Cook III was a consistent threat on the ground, racking up 89 rushing yards, while Brock Bowers of the Raiders provided a bright spot for Las Vegas with 114 receiving yards. Despite the scoreline, Fernando Mendoza kept pushing for the Raiders with 266 passing yards, although it wasn't enough to turn the tide.
