One Raiders unit quietly dominated while the offense fell apart in Week 2

The Las Vegas Raiders fell flat on their faces in Week 2 of the 2025 NFL season. They had an opportunity to make a statement against the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday Night Football, but got beaten soundly by a final score of 20-9.

While the defense actually held up quite well against a very good Chargers team led by Justin Herbert, the Raiders' offense left plenty to be desired. Geno Smith struggled, in particular, completing just 55.8% of his passes and throwing three interceptions.

Once again, the run game did not get going due to a variety of factors, but it was not all bad for the Las Vegas offense.
