Surge or Static: That was fun while it lasted

Less than one week where the Chargers looked like a completely different team and played their most complete game in recent memory, they fell right back down to Earth against the Oakland Raiders on Thursday night.

The Chargers started fast on offense with a chunk play to Austin Ekeler after he was lined-up as a wide receiver. After a four-yard tote by Melvin Gordon, Rivers was sacked by rookie defensive end Clelin Ferrell for his second sack of the season.

On the ensuing third-and-long, Rivers air-mailed a pass to a wide open Keenan Allen up the left seam and it was picked off by safety Eric Harris and returned for 59 yards.
