LAS VEGAS, Nev. -- The 2024 NFL preseason continues for the Las Vegas Raiders today at Allegiant Stadium against the San Fransisco 49ers.

Remember the rule of five. The game is over if the Las Vegas Raiders win that key statistical battle. 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, they are plus one. They are plus three if they get four turnovers and give up only one. That would give them a plus-four for the day. They want to get to a plus-five ratio every game. On average, teams that reach the rule of five scenarios win 91 percent of their NFL games.

The Raiders are 0-2 in preseason play, dropping a game to the Minnesota Vikings in the preseason opener, 24-23, and losing to the Dallas Cowboys last week, 27-12.

The quarterback battle between Aidan O'Connell and Gardner Minshew is settled -- Raiders coach Antonio Pierce announced last Sunday that the QB1 job belongs to Minshew. Minshew went 16 of 33 passing for 212 yards and a touchdown in two preseason games.

O'Connell was 21-of-29 for 172 yards and a touchdown in two appearances. O'Connell's pick-six against the Vikings ended his preseason and was a factor in losing the battle to Minshew.

Carter Bradley and Nathan Peterman look to get a significant amount of reps against the 49ers. The Raiders signed Peterman after cutting Anthony Brown Jr., who struggled against the Vikings.

--

The Raiders did not play their starters. The 49ers did. The Raiders struggled on offense. A combination of 49ers starters against 2s and 3s, coupled with sloppy blocking in both the pass and run games led to an anemic offense led by quarterback Nathan Peterman.

Peterman and the blocking were effective at the end of the half, however, moving the ball in a two-minute drill that led to a touchdown.

Raiders running back Dylan Laube exhibited solid running, though he had a fumble. Defensively, the Raiders were competent, with Chris Smith intercepting a batted ball and the Raiders sacking Brock Purdy three times.

On special teams, Tyreik McCallister’s 81-yard punt return touchdown was gave the Silver and Black their first points of the night.
