The Las Vegas Raiders topped the Arizona Cardinals with a commanding 59-38 victory in Week 17 of the 2026 season. With playoff implications on the line, the Raiders solidified their postseason positioning with this high-scoring performance.
Leading the charge for Las Vegas was quarterback Fernando Mendoza, who threw for an impressive 468 yards and six touchdowns, showcasing his dominant play. Ashton Jeanty was equally impressive, contributing both on the ground with 119 rushing yards and through the air with 145 receiving yards, making him a dual-threat throughout the game.
Defensively, the Cardinals struggled to contain the Raiders' explosive offense, despite Budda Baker leading the team with six total tackles. Arizona's Walter Nolen III did make an impact with 1.5 sacks, but it was Mendoza's relentless passing that proved too challenging to counter. The turning point came in the second quarter when the Raiders scored three quick touchdowns, effectively putting the game out of reach for the Cardinals.
