How to watch the New England Patriots vs. Las Vegas Raiders game in Week 5 of the NFL schedule
The New England Patriots bounced back from an ugly loss against the Jacksonville Jaguars with a thrilling upset win over the Buffalo Bills. Next up, the Patriots welcome the Las Vegas Raiders to town.
With veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins starting the season ahead of No. 1 overall draft pick Fernando Mendoza, the Raiders have been one of the surprises of the young NFL season. Las Vegas comes into Sunday's game with a 3-1 record, having lost its first game last week to the Kansas City Chiefs. New England, meanwhile, enters with a 2-2 record.
The Patriots will be wearing their fan-favorite "Pat Patriot" red uniforms for the game, and the stadium will also have a throwback theme. In addition, the 2001 Super Bowl champion team will be honored before the game.
At halftime, legendary kicker Adam Vinatieri will receive his Pro Football Hall of Fame Ring of Excellence. Vinatieri entered the Hall of Fame over the summer.
The Patriots hosted the Raiders and lost to open last year, though New England bounced back and went on to win the Super Bowl while Las Vegas ended with the league's worst record.
