It is a battle for first place in the AFC West that for the first time in a while does not involve Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs when the Raiders (1-0) host the LA Chargers (1-0) Monday Night.
Yes, it is extremely early in the season, but it is a divisional game, and those contests carry more weight.
The Chargers were one of the more impressive teams last weekend. They opened the season with a 27-21 win over the Chiefs in Sao Paolo. The score was close, but Justin Herbert and Los Angeles controlled the game. The veteran tossed three touchdown passes and threw for 318 yards without turning the ball over in what was the Chargers’ first win over the Chiefs since 2021.
The Raiders opened the Pete Carroll era with a 20-13 win in Foxboro over the Patriots. Geno Smith was effective in his Raiders’ debut throwing for 362 yards and a touchdown. Defensively, Vegas allowed just 60 yards rushing.
Lets take a deeper dive into this Week 2 matchup between the Chargers and the Raiders.
