"The Chargers are spiraling - in all the right ways. A laser to Keenan Allen in the back of the end zone. A pristine rainbow to Quentin Johnston way downfield. Justin Herbert, spinning passes with mechanical precision, led his team to a 20-9 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, directing the Chargers to a 2-0 record and a spot alone atop the AFC West."
"Herbert, ruthlessly effective in a win over the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 1, picked apart the Las Vegas secondary with surgical skill and used his legs to pick up yardage when his receivers weren't open. He was his team's leading rusher. After a one-for-five passing start, he completed his next 15 throws. That included a 60-yard touchdown to Johnston, who scored twice against the Chiefs and is redefining his onetime reputation for exasperating drops."
The Chargers defeated the Raiders 20-9, improving to 2-0 and taking sole possession of first place in the AFC West. Justin Herbert recovered from a one-for-five start to complete 15 consecutive passes and threw a 60-yard touchdown to Quentin Johnston. Herbert also used his legs and finished as the team's leading rusher despite a near-interception late. The Chargers' defense dominated, recording three interceptions and controlling the game. Johnston continued strong play after two TDs against Kansas City, shedding his reputation for drops. The Raiders suffered their fourth loss in five meetings with the Chargers amid an energized Allegiant Stadium atmosphere.
