LAS VEGAS, Nevada — The Raiders started slowly this afternoon.

Their first three plays netted a lone yard and it was fourth and nine when Raiders punter AJ Cole punted the ball to the Los Angeles Rams at Allegiant Stadium.

In fact, the first half proved to be a difficult time for the Raiders, beset with a three-game losing streak after beating the Dolphins, Chargers and Saints in the first three games of the 2026 season.

With only 4:15 left in the first half, the Raiders had piled up a mere 46 yards of total offense.

The Rams defenders were smashing into Raiders runners Ashton Jeanty and Mike Washington, Jr. behind the line of scrimmage, while 38-year-old quarterback Kirk Cousins could muster only 14 yards of passing with a little more than four minutes to go in the first half.

The Raiders finished the first half with 129 total yards.

Meanwhile, the Rams scored three touchdowns and led, 21-3, behind Matthew Stafford’s 15-of-17 passing and a trio of touchdowns (two short TDs to tight end Davis Allen and an 11-yard scoring toss to star receiver Puka Nacua).

The Rams added another touchdown on a Kyren Williams 17-yard score and Raiders kicker Matt Gay booted a 27-yard chip shot field goal on the last play of the first half.

Halftime: Rams 28 Raiders 6

The Raiders made their move in the second half, scoring two touchdowns (but missing both two-point conversions).

They trailed 28-18 before the Rams polished off the Silver & Black with a fifth touchdown in the final quarter. A Raiders field goal wrapped up the scoring.

Final: Rams 35 Raiders 21
