With both teams vying for a chance at the title, the stakes were high, and the Chargers proved they were ready for the challenge. Justin Herbert led the Chargers' offense with two touchdown passes, showcasing his ability to perform under pressure. Keaton Mitchell contributed on the ground with 49 rushing yards, while the Raiders' Fernando Mendoza threw for 178 yards but couldn't find the end zone. Meanwhile, Dont'e Thornton Jr. was a standout for Las Vegas, racking up 135 receiving yards despite the team's struggles.
