Sides are looking to put their best foot forward and trying out the combinations to find the best squad. Minority owners and team management are also behind the teams to perform well in the pre-season games.
During one of the games, Tom Brady– the Las Vegas Raiders minority owner shared his advice with the players. However, as luck would have it, the words turned out to haunt the side as they lost the opposition. It once again shows that no team is to be taken for granted this NFL season as all the sides look dominating. Brady said the four-worded message specifically to Jimmy Garoppolo as the players went out to the field against the Cowboys. No one knew that the 7X SB winner’s words would prove to be fatal for his side.

Tom Brady, is a passionate individual. The 3X SB MVP is known for wearing his heart on his sleeve during his playing days. Post-retirement, he might have simmered down but carries the same zeal for the sport. Given he’s the minority owner of the NFL side- Las Vegas Raiders. Brady gave advice to the side’s QB- Jimmy Garoppolo. In an Instagram video, the former QB could be seen saying to the Raiders QB- “Go ruin their night” as the team headed out for their match against the Dallas Cowboys.
However, the former QB’s words didn’t age well as the Raiders suffered a 16-31 loss during the final pre-season match. The Raiders tried their best but it wasn’t just their day. Brady who himself had a long career very well knows that ups and downs are part of the game. Moreover, there was a glimmer of hope as the Raiders finished their pre-season leg with 2 wins and just one loss. The game was completely dominated by the Cowboys as they never gave a sniff of opportunity to the Raiders.

Dallas Cowboys won comprehensively against the Las Vegas Raiders. During Saturday’s preseason fixture, a charged-up Cowboys side met a slightly tired Raiders. The Jerry Jones-owned side completely dominated the game from start to finish. Tyree Wilson performed a solitary tackle against the Cowboys. However, he displayed an underwhelming performance during the opening drive run against Will Grier.
Las Vegas Raiders who primarily deployed backups struggled for tackling with points. As per the defenses, the defensive line didn’t get much pressure. The performance was below par considering the high standards the team had set in previous games. Running back Zamir White could manage only three yards on three carries. To be fair, Dallas made their presence felt instantly and won by nearly twice the points in the game that didn’t have many positives for the Raiders.
