Game Day Guide
Last updated
The main practical call for Patriots fans is to plan around the stadium’s standard game-day setup, not a special Raiders-only transit or entry change. Gillette says lot access, rideshare and ADA routing follow its regular Patriots-home-game framework, while the one confirmed matchup-specific wrinkle is halftime recognition for Adam Vinatieri. If you are driving, use the posted Route 1/Lot 15 guidance for drop-off and pickup; if you are taking the train, Gillette says special-event Commuter Rail service will run, but the exact schedule is not on the general transportation page. For watching back in New England, CBS/WBZ carries the game locally and the best nearby viewing options are the Patriot Place sports bars and restaurant lounges. View Game Day Guide

Final score and recap
New England Patriots 45, Las Vegas Raiders 17
The New England Patriots defeated the Las Vegas Raiders 45-17 at Gillette Stadium on October 11, turning a dominant passing performance into a 28-point Week 5 victory. New England scored 14 points in the first quarter, seven in the second, 14 in the third and 10 in the fourth. The Patriots held a 21-7 halftime advantage and outscored Las Vegas in every quarter except the fourth, when both teams produced seven offensive points and New England added a field goal. The central figure was quarterback Drake Maye, who accounted for five touchdowns without committing a turnover. Maye completed 26 of 34 passes for 374 yards and four scores, averaging 11 yards per attempt and finishing with a 150.9 passer rating. He added 25 yards and a touchdown on seven carries. Just as important, Las Vegas recorded only one sack against him, costing New England three yards. That combination of accuracy, explosive production and ball security provided the clearest statistical explanation for the Patriots’ 45-point output. Maye’s production was spread across several targets, with the biggest scoring contribution coming from DeMario Douglas. Douglas caught four of five targets for 65 yards and two touchdowns, including a 35-yard reception. Kyle Williams supplied the most explosive line, catching all three of his targets for 91 yards and a touchdown while averaging 30.3 yards per reception; his longest gain was 49 yards. Hunter Henry added three catches for 44 yards and a touchdown. Beyond the scorers, Efton Chism III and Eli Raridon each produced five receptions and 57 yards, giving New England multiple productive options. The running game complemented that aerial output rather than carrying it. Rhamondre Stevenson led the Patriots with 64 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries, averaging 4.9 yards and breaking a 20-yard run. He also caught all three of his targets for 21 yards. Corey Kiner added 52 yards on six attempts, including a 32-yard gain, although his lost fumble was New England’s notable ball-security blemish. TreVeyon Henderson contributed 22 yards on four carries and 16 receiving yards. With Maye’s rushing score included, New England had two touchdowns on the ground to go with four through the air. Las Vegas moved the ball more effectively through the air than the final margin might suggest. Kirk Cousins completed 19 of 28 passes for 243 yards and one touchdown, posted a 106.7 passer rating and threw no interceptions. Rookie Fernando Mendoza added 48 yards on 6-of-8 passing. Tight end Brock Bowers was the Raiders’ leading receiver with eight catches for 110 yards and their only receiving touchdown. His day also included a lost fumble. Ashton Jeanty added 50 receiving yards, but New England limited him to 27 yards on 10 carries, with no run longer than four yards. The Patriots’ defensive pressure showed up most clearly in Cousins taking three sacks for 23 lost yards. Elijah Ponder recorded two sacks, three quarterback hits, two tackles for loss and six total tackles. Leonard Taylor III supplied the other sack along with a tackle for loss and a quarterback hit. In coverage, Charles Woods had two passes defended and a tackle for loss, while Elliott Davison and Kindle Vildor each registered a pass defended. The defense did not record an interception, but the pressure, one recovered turnover and Jeanty’s limited rushing production were meaningful positives. Special teams reinforced New England’s scoring efficiency. Andy Borregales made his only field-goal attempt from 28 yards and converted all six extra points for nine total points. Punter Mitch Wishnowsky was needed only twice, averaging 40.5 gross yards with one punt inside the 20. Marcus Jones returned two punts for 29 yards. For Las Vegas, kicker Matt Gay made one of two field-goal attempts, connecting from 46 yards. The useful takeaway for New England is straightforward: Maye’s five-touchdown, turnover-free performance was supported by explosive receiving production, a viable rushing complement and enough defensive disruption to keep Las Vegas well below the Patriots’ scoring pace. The Raiders still generated 291 passing yards between Cousins and Mendoza, and Bowers surpassed 100 receiving yards, so the result was not built on complete passing-game suppression. It was instead a comprehensive scoring performance, with six offensive touchdowns, clean place-kicking and contributions from several receivers producing a decisive home victory.

- DeMario Douglas scored twice, while Kyle Williams produced 91 yards and a touchdown on three catches, including a 49-yard reception.
