LAS VEGAS — Justin Herbert and the Chargers walked into a roiling cauldron of noise on Monday night at Allegiant Stadium, seeking their second consecutive victory of the season and a chance to quiet the roars coming from an especially boisterous Raider Nation.
The Chargers walked away with a 20-9 victory over the Raiders.
Herbert threw for 242 yards and two touchdowns and the Chargers intercepted Raiders quarterback Geno Smith three times. The matchup didn’t lack for elements of drama, what with coaches Jim Harbaugh and Pete Carroll renewing their acquaintances, and for the first time as AFC West rivals.
But the Chargers never trailed and were never in serious jeopardy. They can go for a three-game sweep of their division foes with a victory over the Denver Broncos on Sunday at SoFi Sta
