The NFL is back! Preseason begins with Las Vegas Raiders bombing unmanned Jacksonville Jaguars

“You never know if you’ll ever get that chance again. I really enjoyed it. It was a good opportunity for all of us, and I think we all enjoyed it.”

In a game without most of the two teams’ starting players — Raiders quarterback Derek Carr and star-level receiver Davante Adams sat down while the Jaguars released a roster of 21 players who wouldn’t play including sophomore quarterback Trevor Lawrence — it was up to the important players to step up .

And like many pre-season games without the star players, this wasn’t the most polished case.

1 was called overall in this year’s Travon Walker draft for a rough pass penalty against Raiders reserve quarterback Garrett Stidham in the first match of the melee. Walker showed why he was chosen first even though he picked up a sack later in the game.

There were opportunities for the players to rush in, as rising linebacker Zamir White showed, sprinting for 52 yards and adding another 23 through the air.

And it was the Raiders’ rushing attack that really ripped the Jaguars’ defense, finishing the game with a total of 159 rushing yards and three quick touchdowns; One each from Stedham, Austin Walter and Amir Abdullah.

Striker’s player Daniel Carlson was perfect from the field as well, adding two field goals and three extra points.

Fiery full back Nathan Cottrell scored his team’s only goal of the evening, picking up a pass from Kyle Slaughter in the end zone.

After the match, Pederson praised the efforts of his team, who had lost many of their starts.

He added, “We’ve made sure everyone plays in this match. And as we go forward, we’ll be a little more of the novices and players we think will be in the 53 (player) list as we go.”
