The Los Angeles Chargers held off the Las Vegas Raiders with a 24-17 victory in Week 2 of the 2026 season. In a tightly contested matchup, the Chargers managed to secure a crucial division win at home, improving their early-season standing and building momentum in the AFC West. On offense, Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert led the way with two passing touchdowns, efficiently guiding his team to victory. While the ground game was buoyed by Omarion Hampton's 92 rushing yards, it was the Chargers' balanced attack that kept the Raiders on their heels. Despite Fernando Mendoza's impressive 263 passing yards for the Raiders, including 101 receiving yards by Jalen Nailor, they fell just short of overcoming the Chargers' lead. Defensively, the Chargers were anchored by Daiyan Henley, who recorded nine tackles, providing a solid presence in both the pass and run game. Nick Barrett's key sack contributed to keeping the Raiders' offense in check, as Los Angeles' defense held firm in crucial moments. The turning point came late in the fourth quarter when the Chargers managed to stifle a potential Raiders comeback drive, sealing the win and sending the home fans into a frenzy.
