Welcome to the NFL, Las Vegas.
The Raiders will play their first game in their new city on "Monday Night Football" — which also happens to be the 50-year anniversary of NFL's first "MNF" game. Las Vegas will host Drew Brees and the Saints inside the nearly $2 billion Allegiant Stadium, but whether Las Vegas can secure a win in its first home game without fans in the stands remains to be seen.
As part of that endeavor, Las Vegas will likely try to establish early success for second-year running back Josh Jacobs, who rushed for 93 yards and three touchdowns in a 34-30 Week 1 victory against the Panthers. He should help take considerable pressure off quarterback Derek Carr.
Vegas will also be able to look for rookie receiver Henry Ruggs III. He is in the lineup after being listed as questionable with a knee injury. Ruggs' presence will affect how many defenders New Orleans places in the box to stop Jacobs.
But even with Ruggs on the field, Carr might have a tough time picking apart a Saints secondary that intercepted Tom Brady twice in his Tampa Bay debut.
As for New Orleans' offense, Drew Brees (18-for-30 passing, 160 yards, two touchdowns, one interception) will have to do without his top receiving target, Michael Thomas, who has been ruled out with an ankle injury. Running back Alvin Kamara may be called on to be as much of a receiving threat as a rushing threat to offset that loss.

Raiders vs. Saints live updates, highlights from 'Monday Night Football'
Third quarter: Saints 17, Raiders 17
10:03 p.m.: And we're back at it. Raiders take over at their 25.
Halftime: Saints 17, Raiders 17
9:50 p.m.: Some halftime stats: Carr is 17 of 23 through the air for 177 yards and two touchdowns; his biggest targets thus far are Edwards and Waller, who have 54 and 42 receiving yards, respectively. Jacobs has 11 carries for 26 yards, as well as two receptions for 15 yards.
For the Saints, Brees is 9 of 18 for 136 yards and one touchdown to one interception. Smith is his biggest receiver, nabbing four receptions for 80 yards. Kamara has 60 yards on nine carries and 23 yards off two receptions.
9:47 p.m.: FIELD GOAL. The Raiders' drive stalls at the 9-yard line, but that's plenty close enough for Daniel Carlson to knock through the game-tying field goal.
9:45 p.m.: Raiders are now inside the 20-yard line thanks to a 12-yard reception by Waller, who has been a big target for Carr in this first half.
9:40 p.m.: INTERCEPTION. Nicholas Morrow picks off Brees and gets the Raiders the ball at Saints 40 with 48 seconds and three timeouts. A complete turn of events right before the half.
9:35 p.m.: TOUCHDOWN. And there's another touchdown for the Raiders, this time on a 15-yard comeback route to Zay Jones to make it 17-14 Saints. That's big, considering Las Vegas gets the ball back to start the second half. Las Vegas scores on two drives of 11 and 10 plays, respectively, to make it a field goal game.
9:29 p.m.: Carr converts another third down with a 20-yard gain to Edwards down to the 16-yard line.
9:26 p.m.: A nice move by Nelson Agholor gets the Raiders a much-needed first down. They're driving at the 49.
9:20 p.m.: TOUCHDOWN. Brees hits Jared Cook for a 6-yard touchdown on the inside slant, making him 4 of 5 for 74 yards and a score on that drive.
9:17 p.m.: Brees hits his third different target to get inside the 25, but he's a little gimpy walking into the huddle. Something to monitor, potentially.
9:13 p.m.: Saints get right back at it with a 16-yard screen to Kamara out to the 40.
9:09 p.m.: TOUCHDOWN. And now the Raiders are on the board: a 3-yard connection between Carr and fullback Alec Ingold in the flat. Nice play call to use Waller as bait there, and it's run to perfection.
9:08 p.m.: Carr hits Darren Waller for a couple 13-yard gains and the Raiders are knocking at the 3-yard line.
9:05 p.m.: Raiders get a couple of hard-fought third-and-1 conversions and are driving deep into Saints territory.
First quarter: Saints 10, Raiders 0
8:57 p.m.: Las Vegas gets a much-needed three-and-out after Jared Cook is called for a pass interference. Raiders will take over at their 37 with 13 seconds remaining in the quarter.
8:52 p.m.: Carr hits Bryan Edwards for a 22-yard gain but only goes backward from there after consecutive sacks. Saints take over at their 20 after the punt.
8:50 p.m.: Raiders take over at their 29, down two scores. They need to get something going here.
8:43 p.m.: TOUCHDOWN. And now the Saints have the first touchdown in Allegiant Stadium history, a 1-yard touchdown run off tackle by Kamara. They get the point-after after a couple tries due to penalties from both teams.
8:40 p.m.: Raiders safety Johnathan Abram is injured on the touchdown-saving play after running into official Sarah Thomas next to the TV cart. He appears to be OK.
8:37 p.m.: Tre'Quan Smith makes a nice catch-and-run for 29 yards all the way to the Las Vegas 4. They're having no trouble moving the ball without Thomas.
8:35 p.m.: Kamara is gashing the Raiders early; he has two runs of 13 and 21 yards. The Saints are now at Las Vegas' 35-yard line.
8:28 p.m.: The Saints' Malcolm Jenkins sacks Carr for a loss of 14 after he tries to retreat back into the oncoming blitz. The Raiders get a little back on third-and-23, but they'll punt on fourth-and-13. Saints to take over at their own 22.
8:26 p.m.: Now it's the Raiders' turn on offense.
8:24 p.m.: FIELD GOAL. And Wil Lutz makes NFL history as the first person to score inside Allegiant Stadium, with a 31-yard field goal.
8:22 p.m.: Saints drive all the way inside the 15, but a big hit from Erik Harris knocks loose a third-down converting reception from Tre'Quan Smith. Field goal attempt upcoming.
8:18 p.m.: New Orleans crosses midfield and deep into Raiders territory, all off chunk run plays. The Saints have four passes to one incompletion so far.
8:15 p.m.: And "Monday Night Football" is off. Saints will receive the ball after the Raiders defer.
