The Las Vegas Raiders erased an 11-point second-half deficit and scored 13 unanswered fourth-quarter points to defeat the New Orleans Saints 35-27 Sunday at Caesars Superdome, improving to 3-0 for the first time since 2021.
New Orleans led 27-16 in the third quarter, but Las Vegas flipped the game in the final period. The Raiders forced four Saints turnovers in the fourth quarter, including an interception of Tyler Shough, and turned those mistakes into the points needed to complete the comeback.
Kirk Cousins finished 22-of-33 for 248 yards and three touchdowns, while Brock Bowers made his 2026 debut with 10 catches for 116 yards and a touchdown. Bowers' 4-yard touchdown reception gave Las Vegas a 35-27 lead in the fourth quarter.
Shough threw a career-high four touchdown passes for New Orleans but also threw an interception, finishing 29-of-42 for 250 yards. The Saints now turn toward a Week 4 Monday night matchup with the Atlanta Falcons on Oct. 5, while the Raiders return home to face the Kansas City Chiefs on Oct. 4.
