In a decisive opening matchup of the 2027 season, the Las Vegas Raiders showcased their dominance by defeating the Green Bay Packers 35-6. The Raiders set the tone early, asserting themselves in front of their home crowd and sending a strong message about their intentions for the season ahead. Quarterback Fernando Mendoza led the charge for the Raiders, throwing for 229 yards and two touchdowns, demonstrating both precision and poise. Wide receiver Ian Strong was his favorite target, racking up an impressive 190 receiving yards, consistently stretching the field and making big plays. Meanwhile, the Packers struggled to find rhythm on offense, with Nate Frazier managing only 33 rushing yards. The Raiders' defense was a critical factor in the outcome, with standout performances from Maxx Crosby, who recorded four sacks, and Suntarine Perkins, who intercepted a pass.
