Ashton Jeanty made a significant impact in his first game with the Raiders after recovering from an ankle injury, leading the team to a 27-13 victory over the Dolphins. With 102 rushing yards and two touchdown receptions, Jeanty showcased the potential that prompted the Raiders to select him first overall in the 2025 draft.
In his postgame interview, Jeanty emphasized the importance of moving forward from last season’s struggles, stating, “We’re moving forward, and we’re not worried about what happened last year.” This win is seen as a pivotal moment for the Raiders, marking a new chapter under head coach Klint Kubiak, who aims to maintain the team’s positive momentum. The focus will be on sustaining this success and utilizing Jeanty’s abilities in the upcoming games.
The Raiders hope to build on this performance and establish a winning culture, contrasting last season’s poor record of 3-14.
