Las Vegas, NV – The Las Vegas Raiders are turning their latest victory into a celebration of both grit and history. Following Sunday’s 20–13 triumph over the New England Patriots, team officials confirmed that every player on the roster will be receiving a valuable gift as a reward for their effort and resilience.
Athletic Director statements made clear the move is aimed at boosting team morale and reinforcing the culture that head coach Pete Carroll has worked to build since his arrival. The victory pushed the Raiders to 1–0 on the season and showcased a defense that is quickly earning league-wide respect.
Pete Carroll Sets NFL Record
The moment was made even more special as head coach Pete Carroll officially became the oldest head coach in NFL history, surpassing a mark previously held by Hall of Famers before him. In recognition of the achievement, the organization is awarding Carroll a $58,000 bonus, a symbolic figure meant to highlight both his longevity and his impact on the game.
Carroll, whose career includes a Super Bowl championship with the Seattle Seahawks and multiple playoff runs, has now etched his name in yet another chapter of NFL history.
Building Culture in Las Vegas
Team officials described the dual rewards — for players and coach — as a reflection of the Raiders’ commitment to building a winning environment under Carroll.
“The victory over New England wasn’t just about the scoreboard,” one team source said. “It was about resilience, discipline, and proving this group has the character to compete every week. Recognizing both the players’ effort and Coach Carroll’s historic milestone is part of what makes this moment special for the organization.”
Looking Ahead
The Raiders face a challenging stretch of games in the weeks ahead, but with Carroll’s leadership and a locker room infused with confidence, Las Vegas seems determined to turn Week 1 momentum into a long-term push.
For now, players will enjoy their hard-earned rewards, and Carroll — at the helm of a new chapter in his legendary career — walks away with both a victory and a milestone bonus to remember.
