Halfback Jack Larscheid, playing in place of the injured Tony Teresa, ran 87 yards for a touchdown on the second play from scrimmage and led the Raiders to a convincing 27-14 win over the Patriots at Kezar Stadium.
Despite earlier reports that suggested he wouldn’t, linebacker Riley Morris started the game while still nursing a back injury.
