FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The New England Patriots host the Oakland Raiders this week hoping to rediscover their normally potent offense.

The Patriots moved to 1-1 with Sunday’s 30-7 win at Minnesota. But after the game, which saw the defense pick off four of Matt Cassel’s passes and turn a blocked field goal into a touchdown, much of the talk was about the struggles of the offense.

New England won the game with 292 yards of total offense, enough to win — easily — but nothing to get excited about.

Through two games, the Patriots sit in the lower half of the NFL stats in many offensive categories. Through Sunday, New England was tied for 25th in first downs; 27th in total yards per game and passing net yards per game; 28th in third-down efficiency; and 30th in both yards per play and passing net yards per play.

Tom Brady is 44 for 78 for 398 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions, with a quarterback rating of 78.9.

Stevan Ridley did run for 101 yards on 25 carries in the victory.

“It was good to see Rid get out there and get some carries, and do some work,” said slot receiver Julian Edelman, who had six catches, one for a touchdown, and has 12 grabs in two games. “The offensive line improving, guys making blocks, but we still left a lot of yards out there, and we feel like we can get better. “

On paper, this home opener could be a day for the New England offense to fatten up its anemic numbers against the 0-2 Oakland Raiders.

Notes — The Patriots were guilty of 15 penalties for 163 yards Sunday and lead the league in penalty yardage with 263. “Fifteen penalties accepted and there were several early ones where we had multiple fouls on the same play and 160 yards, or whatever it was, it’s way too much,” coach Bill Belichick said Monday. “We can’t keep doing that. We had a lot of penalties last week, we had a lot of penalties this week and it’s not just the penalties it’s the yardage, it’s too many personal fouls.”
