The Jaguars are 2-6 after a 21-17 loss to the Denver Broncos in London on Sunday. They are in last place in the AFC West. Truly, the Saints dominated this game in every phase throughout the contest. And they smoked the Raiders. The Raiders are in a bad way. This was bad and the Raiders are in trouble.

Recap the Las Vegas Raiders at New Orleans Saints game in Week 8 of the 2022 NFL season.

[Tyrann Mathieu](/team/players-roster/tyrann-mathieu/) had an interception in the first half and the team's pass rush found its groove in the second half, sacking Las Vegas quarterbacks four times (Cam Jordan .5, Kentavius Street .5, David Onyemata and Payton Turner with two in his return to the lineup). [Andy Dalton](/team/players-roster/andy-dalton/), named the team's starter earlier in the week, was 22 for 30 for 229 yards with two touchdowns and no turnovers. The Saints were seven of 12 on third down and possessed the ball for nearly 35 minutes. Kamara scored his first three touchdowns of the season - a 3-yard run, a 16-yard reception and a 36-yard reception - as the Saints played their cleanest game of 2022. The win ended a two-game losing streak for the Saints (3-5) and kept them in the mix in the NFC South. The Saints held the Raiders to just 183 yards and didn't allow them past midfield until late in the fourth quarter.

In the first half, the Saints would draw first blood, with Alvin Kamara scoring, astonishingly, his first touchdown of the season to give New Orleans a 7-0 lead ...

- Raiders begin at their 13-yard line and move the ball to the 40-yard line. - Saints begin at their 7-yard line. Raiders move into the red zone but time runs out and the Saints win the game 24-0 in their most complete game of the season. - Saints start at their 25-yard line. - Raiders take over at their 25-yard line and on third down, Marcus Davenport sacks Derek Carr but a holding on Paulson Adebo keeps the Raiders’ drive alive. Saints get into the red zone on a pass from Dalton to Olave. Saints move the ball into Raiders’ territory on a 30-yard pass from Dalton to Shaheed. Saints get deeper into the red zone on a run by Taysom Hill. - Raiders take over at their 16-yard line. New Orleans would drive all the way into the Raiders’ red zone again late in the second quarter, but showing no urgency or aggressiveness whatsoever, the Saints would stall and play for the field goal, a 38-yard attempt that the struggling Wil Lutz would miss, to give New Orleans a 17-0 lead at halftime. On the ensuing Raiders’ drive, Tyrann Mathieu would show his instincts for the ball again, picking off a Pete Werner-tipped pass from Derek Carr to Hunter Renfrow, and giving the Saints the ball at the Raiders’ 45-yard line. The Saints would add a field goal in the second quarter after a Raiders’ botched fake punt that backfired and gave New Orleans a short field.

Las Vegas was simply dominated in every facet of the game and never had a chance. Incredibly, the Raiders offense did not run a play in Saints territory until ...

They’ll have yet another chance to get on the winning track next week against the Jaguars in Jacksonville. It now feels safe — and surprising— to call the Raiders a bad football team, despite their splashy offseason acquisitions, McDaniels certainly included. Instead, he shrank in the face of pressure and helped sink the Raiders’ chances. Despite some favorable statistics on the season, the offensive line is simply not very good and can’t handle much more than a run-heavy game plan. Quarterback Derek Carr didn’t get the best blocking on Sunday, but he also had a hand in the Saints’ hot start. The Raiders offense failed to score any points, but Las Vegas’ defense looked plenty bad in their own right. His talent was supposed to prop up a patchwork defense put together by McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler, but Jones’ play has not been close to as advertised. Las Vegas was simply dominated in every facet of the game and never had a chance. But McDaniels turned to play-action passes too soon and his offensive line didn’t respond, which actually helped create the blowout. Jacobs ended his day with just 43 yards on the ground and Vegas had only 38 rushing yards as a team. The Raiders’ offensive line couldn’t handle the Saints’ pass rush and the offense never got going. Down just 7-0, the Raiders had a 3rd-and-1 opportunity.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara scored two first-half touchdowns against the Las Vegas Raiders amid trade deadline speculation.

[NFL Research found](https://twitter.com/NFLResearch/status/1586781235090579456) that Kamara is the first player in league history to record 10 games with at least 1 rushing and 1 receiving touchdown in his first six seasons. His second touchdown was an extremely strong run after a catch where he was able to showcase his balance through contact, catching a 2-yard checkdown and then ricocheting off of several Raiders defenders for 14 more yards. He entered the game with no touchdowns on the season and left the first half with two big rushing scores.

That's just what the doctor ordered. The New Orleans Saints were in a bad way after losing five of their first seven games, but Week 8's impressive shutout ...

A 2-6 start to the season may have prompted a fire sale and a hard reset that would be really difficult to watch the rest of the season. That miss may have motivated the Saints to go for it on fourth down from a similar distance later in the game, which instead resulted in a turnover on downs. Wil Lutz missed a 38-yard field goal after nailing a 37-yarder earlier in the game, which was disappointing to see. Mathieu did rebound from this later on the afternoon, but it’s another sign of a weakness in his game. Tyrann Mathieu hit Josh Jacobs at the Raiders 37-yard line and was taken for a ride, hanging onto Jacobs for his life until teammates stopped the running back at the Las Vegas 48. He trusted his best players to come through, converting a first down on each of Chris Olave’s receptions (he caught 5 passes for 52 yards) and fully weaponizing Alvin Kamara, who finished with 9 receptions and 96 yards with a pair of scores.

In a report on trade rumors leading up to the current deadline, Ian Rapoport, Tom Pelissero, and Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network said that Kamara could be ...

However, a possible trade with Kamara before the deadline would indicate a direction toward building for the future. With a 2-5 record before Sunday’s matchup with the Raiders (Oct. The Saints are without a first-round pick in 2023 after trading that pick to the Eagles for an extra first in 2022.

There were a lot of fans in costume at Sunday's game between the Saints and Raiders on the eve of Halloween, but Steve Gleason won the day.

[Gleason later joked on Twitter](https://twitter.com/SteveGleason/status/1586805230724939783) that he wanted to “be an model of sacrifice & commitment to the Saints by holding my breath for the whole game.” It’s an alarming visual, but it was a relatively safe stunt for Gleason. His motto is to “Live impossible” and he’s still embodying it.

Kamara has been having a productive season and had surpassed 100 yards from scrimmage in New Orleans' previous three games. “We came in wanting to kind of just impose our will,” Kamara said. “He did some pretty slick things to get open,” Raiders coach Josh McDaniels said of Kamara. Dalton was 22 of 30 for 229 yards and two TDs.

New Orleans Saints RB Mark Ingram won't return after suffering a knee injury vs. the Raiders in Week 8 while Alvin Kamara feasts.

Another backfield injury would be very alarming for the Saints, though they’ve built a comfortable lead over the Raiders. Kamara had three rushing touchdowns against the Raiders in what was a dominant outing for the Saints running back who had his name pop up in trade rumors just Sunday morning. Mark Ingram sustained a knee injury during Sunday’s clash against the Raiders and the New Orleans Saints RB will not return to the game, [according to reports.](https://twitter.com/TheSaintsWire/status/1586796429003177985)

It took a while, nearly half the season, but it finally came together for the New Orleans Saints. The formula they used to rout the Las Vegas Raiders 24-0 ...

The challenge for the Saints now is to maintain this effort and execution in the weeks ahead. Can they carry over the intensity and enthusiasm they played with against the Raiders? On offense, the Saints did not commit a turnover for only the second time this season. Moreover, the tackling was crisp and sound. They gave the Chiefs everything they could handle in a 30-29 loss in Kansas City. His protection was so good that the Raiders failed to record a single quarterback hit in the game, much less a sack. It was evident in the way Kamara emphatically spiked the ball to the turf after his second of three touchdowns. And they did against the Raiders. The body language was positive, the confidence conspicuous and contagious. The Raiders were getting the Saints’ 'A' game on Sunday. It was their best, most complete, most dominant performance of the season, the kind effort that made you think: Where have these guys been all year? The Raiders managed to lose 3 more yards on the next two plays.

Raiders fall to Saints in Week 8 shutout. Terrible loss after poor performances from Derek Carr, Davante Adams and offensive line.

He is a free agent after the season and he could be attractive in the open market. The unit had a bad day in pass protection. He had just 43 yards rushing Sunday, but he had 140-plus rushing yards in the past three games and has 676 rushing yards this season. This unit usually run blocks well, but it struggles in the passing game too much. Interestingly, the Raiders also played some 4-3 looks in base Sunday with newly signed Blake Martinez plays as the third linebacker. But rookie Thayer Munford replaced Eluemunor in the second quarter. This game will be remembered for the Raiders’ awful offensive performance. Teams like the [Buffalo Bills](https://www.buffalorumblings.com/) and [Los Angeles Rams](https://www.turfshowtimes.com/) could be fits for Jacobs if the Raiders make him available. Yes, the upcoming schedule remains easy, but the Raiders were supposed to beat the Saints. And it came against a New Orleans ‘ defense that was allowing 28 points a game, the second worst in the NFL. This team is in a bad way. After scoring 99 points in the past three games, the Las Vegas offense was shutout Sunday for the first time since 2014, Derek Carr’s rookie season.

- What a welcomed sight it was to have the Saints win the turnover battle. He should have picked it off, instead he tipped it and allowed Mathieu to get his second pick of the year. No one on the Saints was fooled by it. - Payton Turner had his best game of the season with two sacks. Hill had another good game and continues to be one of the offense’s best and most consistent playmakers. - At one point in the game, Kamara and Taysom Hill were going back and forth gashing the Raiders. Taylor has earned the right to stay on the field. - There’s no way Alontae Taylor goes back to the bench when the Saints get healthier in the secondary. The Saints defense has been a disaster all season. Kamara was the best player on the field and took over the game with 27 touches, 158 total yards and three touchdowns. He hit eight different receivers and protected the football. When the first one came in the first quarter, everyone knew that wasn’t going to be his last.

Meanwhile, the Saints shut out the [Las Vegas Raiders](https://www.silverandblackpride.com/) 24-0, with quarterback Andy Dalton going 22-for-30 and two passing touchdowns. With the game being on Monday night, the Ravens have quite a lengthy time to prepare considering they played last week on Thursday. Both teams are coming off convincing wins, as the Ravens vanquished the Tom Brady [Buccaneers](https://www.bucsnation.com/) 27-22 with a downright dominant performance in the second half.

Alontae Taylor and the defensive backs held Davante Adams to just one catch for 3 yards in what was the All-Pro receiver's lowest output in a game since 2015.

He is the undisputed centerpiece of the offense which has been the best side of the ball for the Saints this season, he is not in a contract year, is still in his prime, and despite the 3-5 record the Saints are still very much alive in the division. This is by no means bad, as they obviously did not cost the Saints the game, but when you win 24-0 missing a 38 yard kick is really the only hole you can poke in the Saints performance. The Saints special teams wins this by default as they were really the only unit that wasn’t perfect on Sunday. His name was swirling in a bunch of unsubstantiated and baseless trade rumors this week as well, and this performance just hammers home the idea that the Saints should not even think about trading Kamara. Kamara is arguably the Saints most valuable player and he should not be even discussed in trade talks this year. Alontae Taylor and the defensive backs held Davante Adams to just one catch for 3 yards in what was the All-Pro receiver’s lowest output in a game since 2015.

The Saints are coming off their best showing of the season against the Raiders, and Kamara had a breakout performance with three touchdowns. With the Saints one game out of first place in the NFC South, it's difficult to see the team trading away its top players to begin a rebuild. There's been some buzz that New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara could be a trade target for NFL teams with his team struggling through the early stages of the season, and the sixth-year back responded to the speculation on Sunday.

New Orleans Saints superstar Alvin Kamara reacted to the heap of trade rumors after his monster game against the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Saints also don’t have a solid future plan at the quarterback position, and the draft pick(s) acquired in a potential Kamara trade could help the organization set itself up well for the long term. But after the Week 8 game at Mercedes-Benz Superdome, Kamara expressed [a clear desire](https://twitter.com/RossJacksonNOLA/status/1586816103342276610?s=20&t=Zf40_AJEvkcsBkQRR_M3Jw) to move forward with the Saints. Sunday only heightened the appeal of making a pre-deadline move for Kamara.

In another much needed performance, Mathieu looked like the player that the Saints wanted when they signed him in the offseason. Rashid Shaheed didn’t score a touchdown in this one, but was given a role that wasn’t just exclusively gadget plays for the first time. He may be looked over with looking at stats, but this was a much needed performance for the rookie. Alontae Taylor has played lights out in the absence of Marshon Lattimore and has made a great argument to stay on the field when the Saints top corner comes back to the depth chart. The New Orleans Saints had their best win of the season on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders in a 24-0 beat down in the Superdome. Should he find the ability to stay healthy, he could look very dangerous in this defense.

Not only is he not taking advantage of the extra playing time, but he’s also been a liability in coverage. He’s two games into his return from injured reserve and promotion to the starting lineup with Nate Hobbs’ injury, and both outings couldn’t have gone much worse. Divine Deablo was one of the biggest culprits, surrendering four catches, 38 yards and two touchdowns while Denzel Perryman wasn’t too far behind with three, 47 and one. Sure, if the quarterback was on top of his game, the wideout would have had a more productive day, but also hurt his cause. The latter would have been an impressive catch, however, it was one that you’d expect the best wide receiver in the league to make. He was battling off a flu bug but regardless, performances like yesterday’s are inexcusable from a player of his caliber, especially since New Orleans was down its top cornerback, Marshon Lattimore.
