Ravens vs. Raiders live score, updates, highlights from NFL’s ‘Monday Night Football’ game

The Ravens and Raiders face off in the first “Monday Night Football” game of the 2021 season Sunday (ESPN, 8:15 p.m. ET) at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Baltimore, which went 11-5 last season and lost to the Titans in the AFC wild-card round, will be looking to make its fourth straight playoff appearance, something it has not done since it had five straight postseason berths from 2008 to 2012.

The Ravens have been hurt extensively by injuries this preseason, especially at running back. J.K. Dobbins (torn ACL), Gus Edwards (torn ACL) and Justice Hill (torn Achilles) are each out for the season, leading Baltimore to sign Latavius Murray, Trenton Cannon, Le’Veon Bell and Devonta Freeman as replacements.

Former first-team All-Pro cornerback Marcus Peters also suffered a torn ACL, and wide receiver Rashad Bateman is on injured reserve to start the season with a groin injury.

Las Vegas, which went 8-8 in its third season under coach Jon Gruden, is looking to make its first postseason appearance since 2016. The Raiders overhauled their defense this offseason, firing coordinator Paul Guenther and hiring Gus Bradley, who was the defensive coordinator for the Chargers from 2017 to 2020.

Las Vegas also added 13 new defensive players, looking to improve a unit that allowed the third-most points, forced the third-fewest turnovers (15) and had the fourth-fewest sacks (21) in 2020.

This will be the only Monday Night Football game in Week 1 for the first time since 2005. ESPN will instead have two games during Week 18 in accordance with the league’s new 17-game schedule.
