Raiders vs. Dolphins Official Live Game Thread
Las Vegas, NV.--The Miami Dolphins (1-1) and the Las Vegas Raiders (2-0) will kick it off later today, on a late-game in the NFL. The Dolphins come in feeling all of the pressure, desperately needing a win, and the Raiders are playing loose and with house money.
I am fond of reporting that good teams do three things:"
Good teams find a way to win games when they aren't playing well. The Raiders did that in week one.
Good teams go on the road and steal a game. The Raiders did that in week two against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Good teams win the games they are supposed to. They can do that today against the Miami Dolphins.
Remember the rule of five. If the Las Vegas Raiders win that key statistical battle, today's 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 ball games on average.

HALFTIME UPDATE:
If the Raiders were looking to prove that they've finally turned a corner to being a consistent team, the first quarter couldn't have gone any worse for them.
During their second drive on offense, when the Raiders had gotten down to the Miami 21-yard line, quarterback Derek Carr threw a pick-six to Dolphins linebacker Elandon Roberts.
Then, after getting the ball right back, head coach Jon Gruden decided to go for it on 4th and 1 from the Raiders own 34-yard line and didn't get it.
The Dolphins only took four plays to score a 24-yard rushing touchdown by running back Malcolm Brown, and just like that, the silver and black were down 14-0.
The Raiders running game has continued to struggle, with the offensive line having little success getting any push.
The Raiders defense would give the team life, though, scoring the team's first points on a safety near the end of the first quarter.
The Raiders offense would then start to find more rhythm, with Carr looking more comfortable and leading the Raiders to a field goal to cut the lead to 14-5.
The silver and black's defense would then continue to step up, preventing Miami from scoring for the rest of the half, including the Dolphins missing a field goal.
Before that miss, Carr would throw for the Raiders first touchdown of the day to fullback Alec Ingold to make it a two-point game, 14-12.
It certainly looked like a foreboding start, but the Raiders are now firmly back in the game with momentum back on their side, albeit down 14-12 with Miami set to start the 2nd half with the ball.
