    Good looking drive to tie it up.

    A lot of Josh Jacobs in the first quarter. 6-24 on the ground 2-13 through the air.
    AOC didn't connect with Adams, but they drew a key PI.

    I don't know what the number is, but the Raiders have missed an absurd number of tackles already.

    Crosby with a sack - and this one isn't erased by penalty.

    Defense held strong. Missed tackles, dropped INT, but they kept the Bolts out of the endzone.

    Two gut-wrenching occurrences in three plays. Adams goes to the tunnel with an injury. AOC fumbles, giving the Chargers the ball deep in LV territory.

    I like Tillery. I've followed him since Notre Dame. But he makes really stupid plays, and he should probably be ejected here.

    No one even covered Keenan Allen in the red zone. JFC.

    Two score game. Hard to put this on the D because they had their backs against the wall, but the D didn't do themselves any favors.

    O'Connell is just missing guys all over. Overthrows Jacobs. Misses Abdullah open. Missed Mayer open earlier. Throws into triple coverage.

    Adams is back, so that's nice. AOC chucks into triple coverage, Meyers commits PI. Then Renfrow drops a third and 1 that would have been a conversion. Bleak.

    Let's call it a rebuild. That will make it easier to handle.

    Nice drive by the O. Gets 3 points. Need 7s, but we'll take it.

    Despite these asinine penalties, the Raiders are looking much better.

    Great adjustment from the Raiders' playcallers. AOC showing how he can be successful. Jacobs getting going, too.

    Huge play, tense, and the Raiders wind up with a first and goal. Then a crushing INT. Damn!

    I don't even hate the L. AOC was the story.

    Let's talk about the bad.

    Lost two fumbles.
    Sacked SEVEN times for a loss of 50 yards.
    Threw an INT at the goal line with the game on the line.
    No TD passes.
    Looked totally unprepared in the first half.
    Raiders are 1-3, giving them only about a 20% chance of making the playoffs.
    Raiders are the only (?) team without a 20-point game.

    Now, the good.
    AOC 24/39, 238 yards.
    AOC Rushing TD.
    Controlled the clock, surprisingly, with almost 33 minutes of TOP.
    Kinda got Jacobs going (58 rushing yards, TD, and 8-81 receiving).

    I saw O'Connell posted a QBR of 8.2. That's bad. Really bad.

    Only Jordan Love was worse. Desmond Ritter, Joe Burrow, Mac Jones, Bryce Young round out the bottom 6.
    He is so far dead last in passing and sack influence on QBR.

    Like I said, however, it's all uphill from here.

    Sad but true...even with elite cornerstones like Adams, Jacobs and Crosby.
