Here are some live updates from the Las Vegas Raiders home game against the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday:
First quarter
What a bad start for new Raiders’ quarterback Geno Smith. On his first play as a Raider at home, Smith threw a bad interception and the Chargers got the ball inside the Raiders’ 30-yard line.
The Las Vegas defense did hold, forcing a three and out and a field-goal attempt. The Chargers converted a 38-yarder to make it 3-0.
The Raiders came back and tied the game on a 54-yard field goal by Daniel Carlson. The drive featured a 13-yard run by rookie running back Ashton Jeanty — the best run of his young career to this point — and a 20-yard pass play from Smith to rookie Dont’e Thornton on third and five. Former Raider Khalil Mack did sack Smith on the drive.
Raiders’ cornerbacks Eric Stokes both had early pass breakups. It continued their good start to the season from last week. The Chargers had to punt on their second drive. Good start for the Raiders’ defense.
The Chargers’ defensive front was getting the better of the Raiders’ offensive line early on and it hurt the run game. The Raiders to punt on drive after the Carlson field goal. Jeanty has been stopped for negative yardage on seven of his first 21 NFL carries.
The Chargers went down the field 72 yards in a 5-minute drive as Justin Herbert hit Keenan Allen for a 10-yard touchdown pass to take a 10-3 lead with 20 seconds to go in the first quarter.
Second quarter:
After a solid drive, the Raiders settled for another Carlson field goal to make it 10-6 with less than 10 minutes to go in the half.
Final score:
