In a commanding performance, the New England Patriots topped the Las Vegas Raiders 49-28 in Week 5 of the 2026 season. With this victory, the Patriots solidified their standing in the league, showcasing their offensive prowess and strategic execution. Drake Maye was the standout star for New England, throwing for an impressive 411 yards and five touchdowns while also adding 52 rushing yards to his total. His connection with Kyle Williams was particularly lethal, as Williams racked up 152 receiving yards, consistently finding space in the Raiders’ secondary and making critical plays when it mattered most. Defensively, the Patriots made their mark with a strong effort, highlighted by Christian Elliss’s two interceptions that shifted momentum back to New England at key moments. Craig Woodson's four total tackles helped maintain pressure on the Raiders’ offense, while Maxx Crosby's two sacks for Las Vegas were not enough to turn the tide. The turning point came early in the second half when Maye connected with Williams for a deep touchdown, effectively putting the game out of reach for the Raiders.
