The mistakes the Las Vegas Raiders did so well avoiding in winning the first two weeks piled up in New England.
A fumble in the red zone, two more fumbles on sacks, a couple of key penalties and missed assignments on defense.
It all added up to a 36-20 loss to the New England Patriots that dealt the Raiders their first loss of the season and showed the team still has plenty of work to do to from also-ran to contender in the AFC.
