Who defeated the Raiders 33-13 in their opening game for the 2018 NFL season?

The Los Angeles Rams defeated the Raiders 33–13 in their opening game of the 2018 NFL season. The Monday night game was played on September 10, 2018, at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum.

Los Angeles led 10–7 at halftime but dominated after the break, scoring 23 unanswered points. Quarterback Jared Goff directed the Rams’ offense, while Todd Gurley contributed as a runner and receiver. The victory gave the Rams a 1–0 start under head coach Sean McVay.

This game also marked Jon Gruden’s return to coaching the Raiders after nearly a decade away from the NFL sideline. A common mix-up is reversing the teams because Oakland scored first and the final score is often written as “Rams 33, Raiders 13.” The Raiders’ 13 points were not a victory margin; they were the losing team’s total. The Rams went on to finish the regular season 13–3 and reach Super Bowl LIII.
