Chargers ride a lockdown secondary to a 20-9 victory in Las Vegas, moving to 2-0 for the second time under Jim Harbaugh. Tarheeb Still, Derwin James Jr. and Daiyan Henley led a disruptive unit that broke up multiple passes, with Gilman and James turning deflections into interceptions to stifle the Raiders in every phase.

Justin Herbert’s line was aided by solid pass protection, while the ground game remained a work in progress with Omarion Hampton flipping momentum once but finishing with modest yardage. Khalil Mack’s early injury cast a shadow, yet LA’s twitchy front and improved defenders carried the night, setting up a testy Week 3 at Denver.

The Chargers leaned on big plays from the secondary and timely pressure to control the game, peppering the Raiders with stops and turnovers that defined the win and reinforced the blueprint for a potential breakout season.
