ASHTON JEANTY SCORES TWO TOUCHDOWNS AS RAIDERS BEAT DOLPHINS

Ashton Jeanty ran 23 times for 102 yards and caught two touchdown passes as the Las Vegas Raiders beat the Miami Dolphins 27-13 on Sunday. The performance came after Jeanty missed extended time over the summer with an ankle injury, though he showed no lingering effects. Jeanty said the Raiders were focused on the future rather than last season's results. "The past is the past," he said. "This is a new team, new staff, and we're building a new culture here, and that's a culture that's going to win football games."

The Raiders picked Jeanty with the top selection of the first round in the 2025 NFL Draft. Last season the team finished with a record of three wins and 14 losses. The Raiders appeared to be turning a corner after beating the New England Patriots in the opening week of last season under Pete Carroll, but the win was followed by a four-game losing streak. This year's win over Miami came under a new coaching staff, which includes Klint Kubiak.

Jeanty described the win as evidence of a shift in culture under the new coaching staff. He said the squad was not concerned with the outcomes of last season and was focused on building toward future wins. Reports suggested the coaching staff's task now is to sustain the positive form shown against Miami. Continuing to give Jeanty a heavy workload is expected to remain part of that approach in the games ahead.
