Raiders Dominate in Season Opener | Las Vegas Raiders News

The Raiders exploded onto the 2026 season with a dominant 27-13 win over the Miami Dolphins, marking head coach Klint Kubiak’s official debut and their biggest opening day victory since 2002. Offense was flawless from the start, scoring on all three first-half drives, led by Ashton Jeanty’s two touchdowns (plus 102 rushing yards) despite recovering from an ankle injury just three weeks prior. Kirk Cousins hit his 301st career TD pass, passing John Elway for 3rd all-time, while the offensive line delivered zero sacks — their first clean game since 2025. Defense was equally ferocious, racking up five sacks, seven tackles for loss, and rookie Treydan Stukes’ first interception. Jeremy Chinn forced a key fumble in the final minutes to seal it. Special teams added momentum with Dylan Laube’s kick returns. With two interceptions and Miami’s big plays still lingering, this win sets the tone — now they turn to divisional play next week.
