The Los Angeles Chargers, in their 20-9 defeat of the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 2, rode on the shoulders of their strong defense, and particularly their secondary, for the second week in a row, coasting into a 2-0 start to the season.
However, the Raiders' game plan, which evidently involved a heavy play-action scheme and a number of bunch concepts in order to catch out the Chargers secondary, ultimately backfired upon them, showcasing both how their rivals underestimated Los Angeles's most vital unit and how difference-making the secondary as a whole can be this season.
