In an impressive display of offensive might, the Raiders tallied up a total of 378 yards. The passing game was particularly effective, with the quarterback throwing for five touchdowns and completing 22 out of 36 attempts for a total of 260 yards. This aerial assault was complemented by an efficient ground game that added two rushing touchdowns and amassed 124 yards on just 26 carries.


The Raiders' defense also played a pivotal role in securing this win, forcing four fumbles and recovering all of them, one resulting in a touchdown. Additionally, they recorded three sacks for a loss of 23 yards and intercepted one pass that was returned for another touchdown. These turnovers were crucial in halting any momentum the Chargers tried to build.


Special teams contributed as well with solid punting performance averaging over fifty-one yards across six attempts and pinning two inside the twenty-yard line. The kickoff unit managed ten kickoffs totaling six hundred forty-three yards with five touchbacks.


Penalties were minimal during this matchup as the Raiders only incurred four penalties costing them thirty yards throughout the game. Their discipline allowed them to maintain control without giving away significant yardage or crucial first downs due to infractions.


Looking ahead, Las Vegas Raiders fans can mark their calendars for December twenty-fifth when their team will face off against Kansas City Chiefs at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. This Christmas Day showdown is scheduled for an afternoon start time and will be broadcasted on CBS network where fans can tune in to watch their team compete once again on national television.
