The Los Angeles Chargers rolled over the Las Vegas Raiders with a commanding 49-21 victory in Week 2 of the 2026 season. This matchup was critical for both teams as they sought to establish early momentum in the division, but the Chargers proved too strong on both sides of the ball. Quarterback Matthew Stafford was sensational, throwing for 385 yards and four touchdowns, showcasing his arm strength and accuracy throughout the game. Running back Kenneth Walker complemented the aerial assault with a stellar performance on the ground, racking up 150 rushing yards, while tight end David Njoku was a reliable target, finishing with 115 receiving yards. The Chargers’ offensive display was a well-oiled machine that kept the Raiders' defense on its heels. Defensively, the Chargers dominated, highlighted by Nick Cross's standout performance with three interceptions, which turned the tide in favor of Los Angeles. The defensive pressure forced critical mistakes from the Raiders, and it was Cross's third interception that effectively sealed the game, leading to a quick touchdown that put the Chargers up by three scores. Roquan Smith also made his presence felt with five tackles, contributing to a well-rounded defensive effort that stifled any hopes of a Raiders comeback.
