The Las Vegas Raiders faced a disappointing start to the season, losing 22-10 to the Los Angeles Chargers in their Week 1 matchup. Despite a new offensive coordinator and a revamped offense, the Raiders struggled to generate scoring opportunities, echoing issues from the previous season. The defense, led by Maxx Crosby, initially held up well but ultimately failed to pressure Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert effectively. The Chargers capitalized in the fourth quarter, utilizing strong offensive plays to secure their victory. As the Raiders prepare for their next game against the Baltimore Ravens, they must address their offensive inefficiencies and improve their pass rush to avoid an 0-2 start. The team's performance raises concerns about their ability to implement their desired physical, ball-control playing style.
