It's a Week 1 battle of AFC teams with new head coaches: It's the Raiders on the road against the Patriots on Sunday.

The Raiders are coming off a 4-13 season. Now led by Super Bowl-winning Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, the Raiders look to get back to the postseason for the first time since the 2021-2022 campaign. The hosting Patriots, meanwhile, are likewise aiming to bounce back from a 4-13 season. In their quest, they'll have Mike Vrabel, the former Pats linebacker, and Titans head coach, calling the shots.

Raiders stats + FYIs

  • ➡️With the Raiders, Carroll is on his fourth team as NFL head coach. He previously wore the headset with the Jets, the Patriots, and, most notably, the Seahawks. His 14-season run in Seattle, from 2010-2023, produced 19 postseason wins, back-to-back Super Bowl appearances, and one Super Bowl victory (Super Bowl XLVIII).
  • ➡️ The Raiders' new quarterback is one of Carroll's old – read: former – quarterbacks from the Seahawks: Geno Smith. Smith spent five seasons in Seattle, from 2020-2024, picking up two Pro Bowl honors and an AP NFL Comeback Player of the Year award. Kenny Pickett, acquired via a trade with the Browns following preseason play, is Smith's backup. 
  • ➡️ In 2024, the Raiders were better at stopping the run than the pass, giving up 29 touchdowns by air (tied for fifth-worst in the league), versus 14 by ground (a middle-of-the-pack performance).
