The Los Angeles Chargers topped the Las Vegas Raiders with a decisive 35-17 victory in Week 2 of the 2026 season. This win solidifies the Chargers' early momentum as they aim for a strong start in the league. With both teams looking to establish their identity, the stakes were high for this divisional matchup. Justin Herbert was spectacular for the Chargers, throwing for 367 yards and four touchdowns, showcasing why he is considered one of the league's elite quarterbacks. Brenen Thompson emerged as his top target, racking up 167 receiving yards and finding the end zone as well. David Montgomery led the Raiders on the ground with 88 rushing yards, but their offense struggled to keep pace with the Chargers' explosive playmaking. Defensively, the Chargers made crucial stops, highlighted by Khalil Mack's sack and Cam Hart's interception, which shifted momentum in their favor. The turning point came late in the second quarter when Hart's pick set up Herbert’s third touchdown pass, extending their lead to 21-10. The Raiders' defense, despite Jeremy Chinn's six tackles, was unable to contain the Chargers' offensive barrage, allowing Los Angeles to pull away for a comfortable victory.
