The Chargers defeated the Raiders 24-19 in their first game of the season. Some highlights included multiple sacks from star defender Khalil Mack and eye-popping touchdown throws from Justin Herbert.
The last time the two teams faced, Las Vegas eliminated Los Angeles’ playoff hopes in a heartbreaking overtime loss last year, but it’s safe to say that the Bolts got their revenge.

Justin Herbert owns Derek Carr and the fraudulent Raiders. If only he got the ball more…
