In this story:

LAS VEGAS, Nev.--The Las Vegas Raiders will end a week of joint practices this week with the New England Patriots by playing their final preseason game of the 2022 campaign.

New Silver and Black Coach Josh McDaniels is taking on his mentor, and the man many consider the greatest coach in the history of the National Football League.

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:

---

Raiders coach Josh McDaniels has the 13-3 edge on his former team, the New England Patriots, at halftime of Las Vegas' final preseason games.

While the Raiders have been very successful on offense thus far, it's their defense that has set the standard. Rookie linebacker Luke Masterston picked up right where he left off last week with a stellar first-quarter performance, having set the tone with a tackle for loss on the Patriots fist drive. 

He would also make a crucial interception that led to a scoring drive that resulted in Las Vegas' first touchdown of the game.

If the Raiders can improve on executing in the red zone in the second half, this lead could potentially get out of hand, so long as the defense continues to dominate the way it has so far.

END OF THIRD QUARTER: Raiders lead 13-6. Las Vegas will start the final quarter with the ball on its own 47-yard line.

START OF FOURTH QUARTER: 

SCORING UPDATE #6: Raiders forced to settle for the field goal yet again. Carlson makes the 33-yarder to extend Las Vegas' lead back to 10.

PENALTY: 10-yard penalty on Patriots' Chasen Hines.

INTERCEPTION: Raiders' Isaiah Zuber intercepts Patriots QB Bailey Zappe's pass and returns it for 25 yard return.

SCORING UPDATE #7: Brittain Brown with the three-yard TD off the pitch. Daniel Carlson's extra point is good. Las Vegas leads 23-6.

TWO-MINUTE WARNING: Raiders lead, 23-6. New England will have the ball at the its own 49-yard line.
