The Las Vegas Raiders suffered a devastating 20-9 defeat at the hands of their AFC West rivals, the Los Angeles Chargers, on Monday Night Football in Week 2. They now have a 1-1 record during the 2025 NFL season, and they sit tied for second place in the division.
Veteran quarterback Geno Smith was a big component of the Raiders' primetime loss, as he completed just 24 of his 43 pass attempts for 180 yards. He also threw three interceptions and 15 passes defended, so his decision-making was questionable at best.
This was a frustrating outcome for Smith, the team and Raider Nation, as all three parties expected him to play even better at home against the Chargers than he did in a rainy outdoor game in Week 1 against the New England Patriots.
