In a commanding display, the Las Vegas Raiders topped the Cincinnati Bengals 35-7 in Week 3 of the 2027 season. This victory not only boosts the Raiders' confidence but also positions them strongly in the early playoff race, while the Bengals struggle to find their footing this season. Fernando Mendoza was the star of the show for Las Vegas, throwing for 234 yards and an impressive five touchdowns. His precision passing kept the Bengals' defense on their heels, and he effectively spread the ball around, making it difficult for Cincinnati to find a rhythm. Meanwhile, Ja'Marr Chase was a bright spot for the Bengals, racking up 124 receiving yards, but it wasn't enough to keep pace with the explosive Raiders offense. Defensively, the Raiders made their mark with Treydan Stukes snagging an interception that shifted the momentum in their favor. The turning point came early in the second quarter when Stukes' pick set up another touchdown for Las Vegas, pushing the lead to 21-0. While the Bengals' Tacario Davis led the team with three tackles and Cashius Howell recorded a sack, the Raiders' defense collectively stifled any chance of a comeback, ensuring a dominant victory.
