The Las Vegas Raiders have a hopeful 2023 season ahead of them. No, they aren't expected to win the Super Bowl or even make the playoffs, but they are expected to be a much better team than that of last year.

One thing we expected coming in, though, was there to be a connection between Jakobi Meyers and Jimmy Garoppolo. The two played together in New England, and both know the offensive system from their time there.

It's showing, too.

Raiders first touchdown of 2023 is a beautiful one

We saw that connection work perfectly when the Raiders entered the red zone. Here, you can see a beautiful throw by Garoppolo and an even better catch by Meyers to score the first touchdown of 2023.

The red zone was a huge issue for the Raiders last season. Already, they have made it an emphasis to put up points when down in the zone.
