Dolphins vs. Raiders final score, immediate reactions in Week 1

The Las Vegas Raiders kicked off their 2026 campaign on a high note, commanding their home turf at Allegiant Stadium to claim a 27-13 victory over the Miami Dolphins on September 13. Las Vegas asserted control early, heading into the locker room at halftime with a 17-6 advantage, driven in part by the offensive spark of Ashton Jeanty and a second-quarter play from Jalen Nailor against Miami's Chris Johnson.

Sunday's matchup served as a challenging inaugural outing for Miami's newly assembled leadership group, which features general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan alongside head coach Jeff Hafley. Despite the setback, starting quarterback Malik Willis managed to highlight the Dolphins' effort by running the ball into the end zone himself for a touchdown, while Caleb Douglas, Jacob Rodriguez, and Kadyn Proctor also saw action in the regular-season kickoff.
