Las Vegas Raiders podcast Rich Perez:

#1 Las Vegas Raiders (3-3) had an opportunity to score at the 4:12 mark but were three and out after the Buffalo Bills (5-1) scored and the Raiders couldn’t answer back to tie up the game in the fourth quarter.

#2 The Bills pretty much controlled the offense with two ten point quarters in each of the second and third quarters. Bills quarterback Josh Allen was 23-33 for 255 yards, and two touchdowns he got some time to throw Sunday.

#3 The third quarter was the crucial quarter for the Raiders who were just completely shutout and couldn’t execute any scoring opportunities and was a costly quarter.

#4 Raiders starting quarterback Kirk Cousins for the afternoon 22-40 for 269 yards and one touchdown throw but not enough of them to get past the Bills.

#5 Raiders Tre Tucker caught a 44 yard pass from Cousins up the middle with at 1:32 getting the Raiders within 3 points. The 33-30 loss is the Raiders third loss in a row.

#6 Next up for the Raiders the Los Angeles Rams at Allegiant Stadium and the Raiders need to spruce up the run game to get a shot to get back in the win column.
