Ashton Jeanty was the standout performer for Las Vegas, rushing for an impressive 151 yards and finding the end zone, which played a significant role in the Raiders' offensive dominance. Quarterback Justin Herbert led the Chargers with 153 passing yards and one touchdown, but struggled to find consistency against a tough Raiders defense.
