In a commanding performance to kick off the 2028 season, the Las Vegas Raiders topped the Los Angeles Chargers with a final score of 35-19. With both teams eager to make a statement, the Raiders showcased their offensive prowess, setting the tone for the year ahead. Kyler Murray was nothing short of spectacular, throwing for 375 yards and four touchdowns, leading the Raiders' high-octane offense. Malik Benson was his favorite target, racking up an impressive 276 receiving yards, making him a nightmare for the Chargers' secondary. Harlem Berry contributed with a solid ground game, adding 61 rushing yards to keep the Chargers' defense honest. On the defensive side, Keyron Crawford made his presence felt with a sack, but it was the Raiders' ability to pressure the Chargers consistently that turned the tide. Daiyan Henley led the Chargers with ten total tackles, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Raiders' explosive offense. The turning point came late in the second quarter when Murray connected with Benson for a 75-yard touchdown, shifting momentum firmly in favor of Las Vegas.
