Raiders-Chargers Showdown: Zapping the Bolts easier said than done

Joey Bosa’s blunt assessment of Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr during the postgame press conference back in Week 4 was one hell of a lightning bolt.

“We knew once we hit him a few times, he really gets shook,” the brutally honest Los Angeles Chargers pass rusher said of Carr after the Chargers’ 28-14 win back in Week 4. “And you saw on CC (Christian Covington’s) sack, he was pretty much curling into a ball before we even got back there.
