Chargers vs. Raiders

by Shawn @ 7:56 am · filed under Sports

Uhm, did anyone happen to notice the San Diego Chargers completely dominating the Oakland Raiders last night on Monday Night Football by chance?

Check out some of these stats:

Oakland Total Yards: 129
Oakland Passing Yards: 42
Times Oakland Sacked: 9 (3 just by Shawne Merriman)

Not a bad way to give your new quarterback some confidence. In fact, Philip Rivers didn't have to do much, but he ended up 8-11 with a touchdown and that gives him a 133.9 quarterback passing rating, which leads the NFL. Of course, it's only 1 week, but the Chargers have the #1 defense in the NFL as of right now.

UpdateI just noticed that every other team in the Charger's division (Oakland, Denver and Kansas City) lost their opening games this season. That can only be good for the Chargers...

so here I am, all the way on the other coast where everybody is cheering for the eagles…AND…the Chargers! I thought only people in San Diego wanted to see the Raiders loose…I was wrong. The Raiders are hated all the way over here on this coast too…GO CHARGERS

#1 Defense, #1 Quarterback, #1 Runningback, AND we had more sacks than they had completed passes. Its a good day to be a charger fan.

Well technically 1 yard behind the #1 running back.
