In a dominant performance, the Las Vegas Raiders topped the Arizona Cardinals 66-36 in Week 17 of the 2026 season, solidifying their playoff positioning with a commanding victory. The stakes were high, and the Raiders delivered a potent offensive showcase that left the Cardinals scrambling for answers. Leading the charge for Las Vegas was Fernando Mendoza, who threw for an impressive six touchdown passes, showcasing his prowess in the pocket. De'Von Achane was a dual threat, racking up 100 rushing yards while also amassing 183 receiving yards, proving to be a nightmare for the Cardinals' defense. Bryce Young of Arizona put up a valiant effort with 398 passing yards but ultimately couldn't keep pace with the Raiders' explosive offense. Defensively, the Raiders made key plays that shifted the momentum in their favor. Maxx Crosby applied pressure with 1.5 sacks, disrupting Arizona's rhythm, while Jeremy Chinn's two interceptions were pivotal in halting any potential scoring drives. The turning point came when Chinn picked off Young in the third quarter, allowing the Raiders to extend their lead and effectively seal the game.
