Raiders beat Chargers by a score of 9–0, making club history.
The Las Vegas Raiders beat the Los Angeles Chargers 63–21 on Thursday night, which was the worst loss in the team’s history.
They are now 6–8 on the season. There have never been so many points made by a Raiders team.
Already struggling not Justin Herbert and Keenan Allen, the Chargers lost this game and now have a 5–9 record for the season.
Head coach Brandon Staley is under even more pressure after this terrible performance. Los Angeles may have looked the least motivated team all season when they began a game.
Easton Stick’s first drive as a starter ended with a three-and-out, with the team only getting seven yards before sending the ball to the Raiders.
Then Los Angeles had back-to-back drives where they lost a fumble. Stick was sacked and stripped, and then Joshua Kelley lost the ball on the first play on the Chargers’ third drive.
When Gerald Everett lost the ball, it was almost three in a row that they had lost, but the Chargers managed to get it back.
Finally, youngster Derius Davis lost a punt return, which made things even worse at this point within the game.
Even though the Chargers were having a tough time, the Raiders’ offense led by rookie quarterback Aidan O’Connell made the most of their chances.
It started with a 12-play, 68-yard drive that ended with a score run by Zamir White. White was one of three backs who were filling in for Josh Jacobs, who was hurt.
After the Chargers lost the ball for the first time, O’Connell only had to run four plays before he found Tre Tucker sprinting across the end zone to score a 30-yard touchdown that made it 14-0.
On the next play, O’Connell threw a deep ball that Jakobi Meyers caught from five yards out for a touchdown that put his team ahead in the initial quarter.
On Thursday, the Las Vegas Raiders beat the Los Angeles Chargers 63-12, after losing 3-0 at the hands of the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday in a game with no offense at all. They scored 47 points in the first half.
On the Raiders’ first drive of the game, running back Zamir White sprinted into the end zone and scored a one-yard touchdown. The drive was led through rookie quarterback Aidan O’Connell.
Since the second quarter for their loss for the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12, Las Vegas had not scored a touchdown.
This game ended that run. “Every phase did a great job. It was lots of fun to watch and take part in.”
Once Las Vegas’s scoring drought ended, they went on the offensive at Allegiant Stadium and scored goals of all kinds against a Chargers defense that was having a tough time.
There were deep passes, a pick-six, long runs off of straight snaps, fumble returns, and a trick play with a Jakobi Meyers throw. The Raiders scored on all of them.
The Raiders scored all 63 of their points on touchdowns; neither team kicked a field goal during the game.
NFL.com says that the Raiders got the most points in football history and the Chargers gave up the most points in football history.
The huge number of points scored by Las Vegas was only nine short of the NFL record of 72. After the game, O’Connell said, “I’m just so proud of these guys for how well they played.”
Also, there have only been two games this century where one team scored that many points. The first was when the Miami Dolphins beat the Denver Broncos by 70 points.
“I feel like we almost got lucky with having a short week here. We couldn’t really dwell on what happened on Sunday; we enjoyed to move on.”
That’s 20 out of 34 passes for 248 yards and four scores from O’Connell. The Raiders were also helped by White’s great play as Josh Jacobs’ replacement while he was hurt.
Before Thursday, the 24-year-old had never received over five touches in a game. He had 17 runs for 69 yards and a touchdown.
As for the Chargers, they’ve had a terrible season. The Chargers said on Tuesday that star qb Justin Herbert would miss the rest of the season because of a broken right index finger he got against the Denver Broncos on Sunday.
Changes Made QB Even though he was drafted in 2019, Easton Stick was only making his third NFL game.
He had trouble getting LA’s offense going and lost the ball three times, with two fumbles and an interception.
Stick did throw for 257 yards and three scores in his first NFL game, including a catch via Joshua Palmer that ran for 79 yards and the game’s highlight.
