Raiders hold off Patriots 21-17 after losing QB Garoppolo to back injury

Associated Press  

LAS VEGAS — Hanging over a game in which several ex-New England Patriots played key roles in a victory against their former team was the loss of Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to a back injury. Raiders coach Josh McDaniels didn’t have an update on Garoppolo after Las Vegas’ 21-17 win Sunday, and the availability of the oft-injured quarterback could be a major issue going forward. “I’ve pretty much seen all the situations, and really what it comes down to is playing football regardless of the situation.” The Raiders have won back-to-back games to move to.500 at 3-3 and ended a six-game streak going back to last season of not scoring at least 20 points. “That certainly wasn’t a Picasso out there.” HITTING MILESTONES Las Vegas’ Jacobs reached 5,000 rushing yards with a 7-yard run in the second quarter.
