If 2025’s new-look Raiders were to have any chance of righting the ship and reviving their season, Week 6’s showdown offered a perfect “Step One” of sorts: conquering Tennessee to inch closer to .500. Following the blueprint of any aspiring-to-be-elite team, Las Vegas exited halftime’s tunnel with a plan, and Geno Smith and Ashton Jeanty executed it, immediately using a nine-yard connection to get ahead of schedule. Smith’s veteran poise became the drive’s great equalizer, as he went a perfect five-of-five, with no completion bigger than his play-action rollout dime to Michael Mayer, an 11-yarder on 4th & 1. Shortly thereafter, Jeanty closed the 13-play, 70-yard drive with a short touchdown, fueling a 17-point boost that eventually led to a feelgood, 20-10 win over the Titans on Oct. 12, 2025.
