The Las Vegas Raiders dominated the Miami Dolphins with a final score of 45-7 in their Week 1 matchup of the 2026 season. With both teams looking to make a statement early in the year, the Raiders proved their mettle with a commanding performance at home. Bryce Young led the charge for Las Vegas, tossing two touchdown passes while maintaining a steady rhythm throughout the game. Kenneth Walker was the standout on the ground, racking up an impressive 151 rushing yards, consistently breaking through the Dolphins' defensive line. On the other side, Justin Fields managed 189 passing yards for Miami, but struggled to find the end zone against the relentless Raiders’ defense. Las Vegas’s defense was instrumental in sealing the victory, as they consistently pressured Fields and disrupted Miami's offensive flow. The game's turning point came early in the second quarter when a crucial interception by Riq Woolen set up a short field for the Raiders, leading to a quick touchdown that widened the gap. Despite a strong receiving effort from Xavier Worthy, who tallied 138 yards, Miami simply could not recover from the early onslaught.
