los angeles chargers 20 vs las vegas raiders 27

Both the Chargers and the Raiders are coming off huge wins, and both teams will look to make it another this Sunday afternoon.

The Chargers game last week was a total back and forth which the Chargers chose to end when they converted the go ahead 2 point conversion with 15 seconds left in regulation. It was a crucial game that put the Chargers over .500 and snapped their 2 game losing streak. Justin Herbert had his best game of the season, throwing for 274 yards and 2 TDs. The Chargers need to improve their run defense, though, as they let up 120 yards to James Connor who is one of the worst runners in the NFL.

Last week’s win against the Seahawks came off the back of RB Josh Jacobs. The Third year back ran for 229 yards on 33 carries, while catching 6 balls for an additional 74 yards. The back had 303 total yards and 2 TDs, including the 86 yard scamper to win it in overtime. The Raiders know that the path to victory goes through him, and he should feast against the Chargers this week. Derrick Carr had a great game with 295 passing yards and 3 TDs, but it was damaged by his 2 interceptions thrown in the shootout.
