A classic NFL matchup will rekindle in week 3 of the preseason as the Raiders and 49ers get ready to battle in Sin City.
Given the Raiders' Bay Area roots, these two franchises are no strangers to each other. While Vegas has been struggling in recent years, a fresh and talented Fernando Mendoza is giving hope to the cause. The young star still has much to learn though, going 8 of 15 for 86 yards and a pick-six against the Texans last week.
On the other hand, the 49ers scored their first victory of the preseason in Week 2, routing the Chargers 41-17. There were several key sequences for San Francisco, including an 83-yard punt return and touchdown from Jacob Cowing. Quarterback Brock Purdy also saw the field for the first time, going 4 of 6 for 29 yards in the first quarter.
Who will prevail in this familiar matchup to close out the preseason?
