Hall of Fame Game Live Thread:  Raiders vs. Jaguars

The Las Vegas Raiders kick off the 2022 season today here in Canton, Ohio, at the Hall of Fame Game, taking on the Jacksonville Jaguars.

CANTON, Ohio--The Las Vegas Raiders had perhaps the best off-season in all of the NFL.  After a tumultuous 2021 campaign, they are ready to turn the page to 2022.

Owner Mark Davis went out and poached Dave Ziegler and Josh McDaniels from Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots.  Tonight they take on one of the best young quarterbacks in the NFL in Trevor Lawrence of and the Jacksonville Jaguars.

It is a preseason game so this isn't about winning (they still want that) as it is getting your starters out, if they play at all, and getting large numbers of reps for young players, and guys on the fringe.

Remember the rule of five. If the Las Vegas Raiders win that key statistical battle, the game is over. For those who don't remember it, it has to do with sacks and turnovers. If the Raiders have three sacks and give up two, that means they are plus one. If they then get four turnovers and give up only one, that means they are plus three. That would give them a plus-four for the day. They want to get to a plus-five ratio every game. Teams that reach the rule of five scenarios win 91 percent of their NFL games on average.

HALFTIME: 

If there was any doubt the Las Vegas Raiders weren't going to be able to get off to a hot start in the opening preseason game of the 2022 NFL season, that's quickly gone away after a dominant first half. 

The Raiders ended the half leading 20-0 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and it didn't even feel that close. 

The Raiders dominated every major statistic, especially in running the ball, having 95 rushing yards to the Jaguars 12. 

Quarterbacks Jarrett Stidham and Nick Mullens both were able to make plays and stay efficient, with Stidham contributing to the rushing effort with a touchdown. 

Defensively, the Raiders allowed only four 1st downs to the Jaguars, completely shutting down anything the Jaguars attempted. 

In every facet, the Raiders have played like they're in mid-season form, and that's with few starters playing to start the game. 

It's a great start for head coach Josh McDaniels tenure, as the Raiders will look to finish the job in the second half.
