What happened: Las Vegas erased a fourth-quarter deficit in New Orleans with a 35-27 win, forcing turnovers on all four Saints possessions in the final period. Fernando Mendoza remains in development behind Kirk Cousins, while Brock Bowers returned with 116 yards and a touchdown.
Why it matters: Las Vegas went 3-14 last season and has not won a division title since 2002. The defense ranks second in EPA allowed per play while the offense ranks 16th. A home game against the 3-0 Chiefs gives Las Vegas an early division lead to play for.
By the numbers: Defense: 2nd in EPA allowed per play; offense: 16th. Bowers: 116 yards, 1 touchdown. Record: 3-0 after 3-14; 2 wins in last 5 against Chiefs.
What to watch: Las Vegas hosts Kansas City on Sunday afternoon.
