The Patriots have plenty of work to do after a 20-13 setback against the Raiders on Sunday afternoon.

But, speaking after the loss, Patriots captain Harold Landry III offered up plenty of optimism about New England’s ceiling on the defensive side of the ball.

“I feel like we came out with good energy. … I felt like you could see the glimpse of dominance that our defense has,” Landry said.

Landry — who signed a three-year, $43.5 contract with New England in free agency — was one of the bright spots on an otherwise dreary afternoon for the Patriots against Las Vegas.

Landry was a force in New England’s pass-rushing efforts against Raiders QB Geno Smith, closing out the game with 2.5 sacks, four quarterback hits, and three tackles for a loss.
