Raiders Rally for First Win | Las Vegas Raiders News

Klint Kubiak’s first head coaching win came in a wild preseason thriller as the Raiders rallied from a 17-point deficit to beat the Texans 22-20, proving grit matters even before the regular season. The defense, spearheaded by Rob Leonard, held strong with just 13 points allowed without starters, while Dylan Laube, Patrick Johnson, and Mike Washington Jr. stood out with standout plays on offense and special teams. But not everyone shined—Roman Hemby faded among RBs, Jordan Meredith struggled with communication, Malik Benson dropped multiple passes, and kicker Kansei Matsuzawa’s missed extra points hurt his roster chances. Despite shaky offensive line play and inconsistent execution, the Raiders’ resilience sent a clear message: this team is building culture—and momentum—for what’s ahead.
