The Raiders kick off the season Sunday when they meet the New England Patriots in Foxborough, Massachusetts.

Coach Pete Carroll makes his debut with the Raiders, and quarterback Geno Smith is expected to make his first start in silver and black.

The Raiders have won their last two meetings with the Patriots but will face several familiar faces. Former coach Josh McDaniels is New England’s offensive coordinator.
