In a heated AFC West rivalry, the Los Angeles Chargers defeated the Las Vegas Raiders 22-10 in their season opener, but the game was marred by a late-game brawl. The altercation occurred after a failed two-point conversion attempt, leading to the ejection of Chargers wide receiver Josh Palmer and Raiders cornerback Jack Jones. Both players were involved in the skirmish in the end zone, which also included several other team members, prompting head coach Jim Harbaugh to intervene. The incident highlighted the tensions between the two teams, which have a storied rivalry dating back to the 1960s. Harbaugh's victory marked his successful return to coaching in the NFL, improving his record to 1-0. The game ended without further escalation, but the ejections underscored the fierce competition between these divisional foes.
