The Las Vegas Raiders' starters shined on both sides of the ball in their Week 1 preseason loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Saturday.

Some players surprised while others did what was expected of them.

Raiders cornerback Jack Jones, who had a tremendous finish to the 2023 season in his seven games with the Silver and Black, carried over his success from last year right into Saturday's contest.

Jones, who posted two pick-sixes last year, earned himself an interception against Minnesota, shutting down its second drive of the game.

For his outing, Jones was named one of Pro Football Focus' top-two cornerbacks of Week 1 of the preseason by PFF's Gordon McGuinness.

Jones earned his right to be a starter in Saturday's game. As he enters Year 2 as a Raider, he is in a bunch better position than he was when he joined the club midway through last season,

"He just continues to amaze me with the things he does and the way he can lock in and turn up, said Jones' teammate, Nate Hobbs, last month, "because once he's activated, I think he's a top-five cornerback in this league. That's me."
