It was a hard-fought battle and the Las Vegas Raiders won by the slimmest of margins, but the Raiders got the 17-16 Week 1 win over the Denver Broncos which also makes Las Vegas the only AFC West team to begin the 2023 season 1-0!
Below are some of the highlights from X/Twitter after the Raiders wins, including a few quotes from head coach Josh McDaniels, quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and wide receiver Davante Adams.
Garoppolo and wide receiver Jakobi Meyers connected nine times for 81 yards and two touchdowns as the quarterback spoke on his connection with Meyers, who unfortunately suffered a concussion at the end of the game.

Ugly wins are always better than pretty losses.
It wasn’t pretty, but the #Raiders got it done.
