Ignore the noise

The Raiders expect to face one of the most raucous, hostile road environments they have endured in some time when the game kicks off Sunday after playing in front of reduced capacity and even empty stadiums last year.

Gruden hopes his team is prepared after struggling with issues at the line of scrimmage in the friendly confines of Allegiant Stadium.

“We know it’s going to be loud,” he said. “Hopefully we’re ready for it. We practiced in the noise all week, and I know this: We’ve got to eliminate the false starts and pre-snap penalties. I don’t care if we play at home or away, that was ridiculous last week. We’ve got to play better.”
