Raiders' early-season momentum dims in ugly loss to Panthers

Black jerseys and clothing were all that was visible for several blocks Sunday morning outside Allegiant Stadium three hours before the Las Vegas Raiders' home opener. Unlike most other home games since the Raiders moved into their new $2 billion home across from the Strip, road fans were in rare supply. Hints of Carolina Panthers' blue and black barely dotted the stadium even when kickoff drew closer, and no cheers were audible when the visitors ran onto the field for the first time. The Raiders' contingent, on the other hand, was boisterous.
