Raiders-Chargers Week 2: 5 things to watch

Following a 27-13 opening victory over Miami sparked by first-year rusher Ashton Jeanty and a disruptive defensive front, the Las Vegas Raiders head into a Week 2 AFC West meeting against the Los Angeles Chargers. The host Chargers will attempt to rebound from a 26-14 defeat against Arizona, entering the clash favored despite their Week 1 setback.

Los Angeles has claimed five consecutive home meetings against Las Vegas, with the Raiders seeking their first road victory in the series since a spectator-free contest during the 2020 pandemic. Ahead of the test against Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert, Las Vegas head coach Klint Kubiak has issued a challenge to his secondary, while defensive end Maxx Crosby emphasized focusing on the present rather than past history.
