NFL Preseason Week 3 Game Recap: Arizona Cardinals 20, Las Vegas Raiders 10

Clayton Tune accounted for 47 rushing yards and a touchdown pass as Arizona closed out the preseason with a 20-10 win over Las Vegas. The Raiders opened with several starters and struck first behind Geno Smith, who led a quick scoring drive capped by a 17-yard touchdown to Dont’e Thornton Jr.

Las Vegas rotated through Aidan O’Connell and rookie Cam Miller after Smith, but stalled offensively after the opening score. Arizona’s reserves responded with three scoring drives, while the Raiders’ defense tallied five sacks but couldn’t slow Tune’s mobility or finish drives.
