The Patriots on Sunday will visit the Las Vegas Raiders in what could be a franchise-altering matchup for both teams.

New England, 1-4 through five weeks, will look to save its season. Mac Jones reportedly is playing for his job. Bill Belichick could be down to his last strike, too.

But the 2-3 Raiders aren’t in much better shape. A loss to the lowly Patriots could put Josh McDaniels squarely on the hot seat in just his second season in Vegas.
