The New England Patriots head on the road to visit some familiar faces in a Week 6 showdown with the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.
Former longtime Patriots offensive coordinator and current Raiders coach Josh McDaniels will be looking to upstage Bill Belichick for a second straight year.
Last year, the Patriots blew it against the Raiders with the infamous failed lateral attempt by wide receiver Jakobi Meyers, who is now with the Raiders as well. It was one of the most embarrassing losses in franchise history for New England, and it clearly played a role in them missing the playoffs in the 2022 season.
