Week 2 NFL action is nearly finished. The Green Bay Packers kicked off the week with a dominant home win over the Washington Commanders on "Thursday Night Football" ahead of a full Sunday slate.
This week sees the first "Monday Night Football" double-header of the season that caps off in a classic AFC West matchup.
For the first time since 2021, the Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers are both 1-0 entering Week 2.
Las Vegas handled the New England Patriots on the road in Week 1 behind an impressive performance by new quarterback Geno Smith. The former Seahawk threw for 362 yards, second-most in the league in Week 1, and already showed good chemistry with star tight end Brock Bowers. The defense stifled New England's rushing offense and the Raiders return home after a 20-13 win.
Los Angeles had more travel than most any NFL franchise in Week 1. The Chargers played their first game in São Paulo, Brazil, in a close battle with reigning AFC champions Kansas City. Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert had an outstanding game – including a game-sealing 19-yard scramble in the fourth quarter – to give Los Angeles a 27-21 win, its first victory over the Chiefs since 2021.
Smith and Herbert were two of the most prolific passers in the league in Week 1. They could make this "Monday Night Football" matchup must-see TV. Here's what to know about the Raiders vs. Chargers game and how you can watch all of the action.
