Raiders-Saints matchup features a new generation of NFL coaches in Kubiak and Moore
The matchup pits two former Super Bowl-winning offensive coordinators against each other as both teams look to build on early-season momentum.
The 2-0 Las Vegas Raiders visit the 1-1 New Orleans Saints at the Superdome on Sunday at 4:25 p.m. EDT, pitting head coaches Klint Kubiak and Kellen Moore against each other.
Both coaches, 39-year-old Kubiak and 38-year-old Moore, won Super Bowls as offensive coordinators before becoming head coaches; Kubiak previously coordinated the Saints' offense in 2024.
Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins leads an efficient offense, while Saints quarterback Tyler Shough has recorded 662 passing yards through two games despite his team ranking 28th in rushing with 78 yards per game.
New Orleans hosts its home opener nearly 20 years after the Superdome's reopening following Hurricane Katrina, though Moore cautioned that "We've won one game, and there's a lot of games to go."
Las Vegas boasts a defense with an opposing passer rating of 63.2, trailing only Seattle, as cornerback Hezekiah Masses has allowed just 16 yards on seven targets; a victory would mark the Raiders' first 3-0 start since 2021.
