The Las Vegas Raiders played far from a perfect game against the New England Patriots on the opening weekend of the 2025 NFL season. Fortunately, they did enough good to escape with a 20-13 victory on the East Coast and start the year 1-0.
But things won't be as easy in Week 2 when the Los Angeles Chargers travel to take on the Silver and Black at Allegiant Stadium on Monday Night Football. The Raiders will need to dramatically improve in several aspects of the game if they want to pull off what many think will be an improbable upset.
