Live Updates: Las Vegas Raiders vs. Arizona Cardinals
LAS VEGAS, Nev.-The Las Vegas Raiders (0-1) host the Arizona Cardinals here at Allegiant Stadium today.
Both teams need a win, but for the Raiders, with expectations of a special season, this is an early must-win.
Remember the rule of five. If the Las Vegas Raiders win that key statistical battle, the game is over. 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, that means they are plus one. If they then get four turnovers and give up only one, that means they are plus three. That would give them a plus-four for the day. They want to get to a plus-five ratio every game. Teams that reach the rule of five scenarios win 91 percent of their NFL games on average.

HALFTIME:
After a loss in Week 1 that saw the Raiders continually shot themselves in the foot with penalties and turnovers, they've played a much cleaner first-half against the Arizona Cardinals.
Having six penalties likely won't please head coach Josh McDaniels, but outside of that, the Raiders have taken care of business in going up 20-0 at the half.
Offensively, the Raiders have scored a touchdown or field goal on each of their four possessions.
Quarterback Derek Carr has played flawless in completing 75 percent of his passes for 210 yards and two touchdowns.
Unlike in the Raiders first game against the Los Angeles Chargers, Carr has done his part in spreading the ball around.
He's completed a pass to seven different receivers, with Mack Hollins leading the way with five catches for 66 yards.
The offensive line has been able to protect well for most of the first half, and running back Josh Jacobs has been a consistent factor with 11 carries.
Defensively, it's hard to imagine how the Raiders can do any better after not giving up a point and only 86 yards of total offense.
The Raiders pass rush has been able to harass Cardinals QB Kyler Murray all game, and also collected their first turnover of the season off of him with an Amik Robertson interception.
It's the kind of half of football that fans were hoping to see coming off a loss, and the Raiders have delivered in every way so far.
