Chargers' defense steals the show in a 20-9 win over the Raiders as Herbert labors yet LA improves to 2-0. Through two weeks, the unit sits among the league’s stingiest, having allowed only 30 points and not a single first-half TD. The defense harassed Geno Smith all night, combining three interceptions, three sacks, and relentless pressure that kept Las Vegas from threatening late.

Daiyan Henley anchors with 10 tackles (2 for loss), an interception, two pass defenses and an 11-yard sack; Quentin Johnston breaks through with a 60-yard score after Week 1 success; Tony Jefferson shines after a late call-up with a key end-zone breakup and a pick near the goal line. Jesse Minter’s group clamps down on the run and soldiers through a long, grueling drive to seal it.

Herbert is guiding a pass-heavy Chargers attack, signaling an evolution under Harbaugh away from the old-school run-first trope. The offense aims to maximize Herbert’s arm with a sharper skill corps and a more versatile backfield.

In the MNF win over the Raiders, the Chargers leaned into the aerial game with 27 pass attempts to 26 rushes, Herbert delivering 242 yards and 2 TDs. Johnston, Hampton, and Harris give Herbert more route-running and reliability, while Mack’s health and Perryman’s status loom as potential swing factors in a crowded AFC race.

Omarion Hampton offers high-end RB2 upside despite a tougher early slate. Quentin Johnston and Keenan Allen provide versatile Chargers receiving options, while Mike Evans steps in as a reliable veteran target for Tampa. Justin Herbert, Nick Chubb, and a mix of deeper plays from Ashton Jeanty and Emeka Egbuka round out the core decisions.
