In a dominating performance, the Las Vegas Raiders topped the Los Angeles Chargers 62-33 in Week 2 of the 2026 season. With this victory, the Raiders improve their record and establish themselves as a formidable force early in the season, while the Chargers look to regroup after a tough loss at home. Quarterback Fernando Mendoza was the standout for the Raiders, throwing for an impressive 421 yards and five touchdowns. He connected frequently with Dont'e Thornton Jr., who lit up the field with 209 receiving yards, while Ashton Jeanty contributed significantly on the ground with 139 rushing yards. This explosive offensive display was too much for the Chargers to handle. Defensively, the Raiders made key plays that shifted momentum in their favor. Maxx Crosby recorded two sacks, consistently applying pressure on the Chargers' quarterback, while Treydan Stukes snagged two interceptions to stifle any comeback attempts. The turning point came in the second quarter when Stukes' first pick set up a touchdown drive, allowing the Raiders to pull away and ultimately secure a commanding victory.
