In a commanding performance, the Las Vegas Raiders topped the Los Angeles Chargers 28-7 in Week 2 of the 2026 season. The win not only boosts the Raiders' record but also establishes them as a formidable force early in the campaign, showcasing their potential to be playoff contenders. Quarterback Fernando Mendoza led the charge for Las Vegas, throwing for 247 yards and two touchdowns while also contributing on the ground with six rushing yards. His primary target, Anthony Schwartz, was a standout in the passing game, racking up 89 receiving yards and demonstrating the Raiders' potent aerial attack. The offensive unit was efficient, consistently moving the ball and capitalizing on scoring opportunities. Defensively, the Raiders made a significant impact, highlighted by Korie Black's two interceptions that thwarted any momentum the Chargers attempted to build. Maxx Crosby added to the pressure with a sack, while Darien Porter led the charge with three tackles. The turning point came in the second quarter when Black's first interception shifted momentum, allowing the Raiders to extend their lead and effectively control the game from that point forward.
