AI RECAPThe Las Vegas Raiders kicked off the 2026 season with an impressive 41-24 victory over the Miami Dolphins. With both teams eager to make a statement in Week 1, the Raiders showcased their offensive prowess and set the tone for the season ahead.
Joe Milton was the standout performer for Las Vegas, throwing for an impressive 342 yards and three touchdowns, effectively leading his team to victory. Xavier Worthy was his primary target, racking up 161 receiving yards that kept the Dolphins' defense on their heels. Meanwhile, Saquon Barkley managed to put up a respectable 76 rushing yards for Miami, but it wasn't enough to match the Raiders' offensive firepower.
Defensively, the Raiders made key plays that turned the momentum in their favor, highlighted by a sack from James Pearce Jr. and the Dolphins' inability to contain Las Vegas’ explosive passing game. Divine Deablo led the Dolphins' defense with eight tackles and an interception, but the turning point came when Milton connected with Worthy for a touchdown that extended the Raiders' lead, leaving Miami struggling to recover.
