Lots of familiar faces when the Patriots visit the Raiders

Associated Press  

LAS VEGAS — It’s Patriots East against Patriots West on Sunday, teams with a lot of similarities in desperate need of a victory. Somehow, Las Vegas has won twice even with that poor production, but wide receiver Davante Adams said the team can’t be satisfied with “just squeezing victories.” “I feel like there’s more to take from a game than just the win or loss,” Adams said. So you have to start changing the way it looks.” ABOUT THAT ENDING The Patriots also came to Las Vegas last year, and the result was the season’s wackiest ending. Las Vegas ranks 14th in total defense, which isn’t overwhelming, but is a major improvement from last season when the Raiders were 27th. “I write in my notes every single day, it’s me versus me.” STADIUM TOUR Belichick enters Sunday having recorded at least one victory in 50 stadiums across the NFL.
