On Thursday night, the Las Vegas Raiders achieved a remarkable turnaround just four days after losing 3-0 to the Los Angeles Chargers. They scored 42 points by halftime and prevented the Chargers from crossing midfield until the third quarter, ultimately winning 63-21 and setting a franchise scoring record. This surpassed the team’s 2010 victory over Denver, and it was also the most points ever allowed by the Chargers. The Raiders led 42-0 at halftime, which was the biggest halftime deficit in Chargers history. Aidan O’Connell threw all four of his touchdown passes in the first half, and Las Vegas’ defense scored two second-half touchdowns. Chargers coach Brandon Staley will likely face scrutiny after his team suffered such a significant defeat.
