Match Preview: What’s at stake?
The Arizona Cardinals and Los Angeles Raiders arrive at Allegiant Stadium with very different questions to answer, even though neither team is playing for a regular-season result yet.
Arizona is coming off a 33-30 loss to Carolina in the Hall of Fame Game, where rookie quarterback Carson Beck made an immediate impression by completing 15 of 19 passes for 188 yards and a touchdown. That performance has added intrigue to a quarterback room that already includes veteran Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew.

Las Vegas has an even bigger storyline under center. The Raiders selected Fernando Mendoza No. 1 overall in the 2026 NFL Draft, but veteran Kirk Cousins remains the projected starter entering the season.
Recent training-camp reports indicate that Cousins continues to lead the competition, although Mendoza has already received opportunities with the first-team offense and impressed during camp. That makes the matchup against Arizona one of the first chances to see how the Raiders manage the balance between their veteran quarterback and their highly touted rookie.
There is also a coaching connection worth watching. Klint Kubiak is beginning his first season as Las Vegas’ head coach, while Mike LaFleur takes over in Arizona.
Both teams are therefore using the preseason to establish new offensive identities, but their circumstances are not identical: the Cardinals are trying to recover from a 3-14 season, while the Raiders are building around a new quarterback investment and a new coaching staff.
