It was a tough night for Las Vegas supporters.

In this story:

The Los Angeles Chargers effectively toyed with their prey on Monday Night Football, allowing the Las Vegas Raiders to run downright horrifying offense for 60 minutes while cruising to a 20-9 win. Jim Harbaugh's team is now 2-0 on the young season and alone atop the AFC West after back-to-back convincing primetime wins. Their defense has been stingy, and Justin Herbert has played complementary football.

In short, vibes are high.

Which the official team account confirmed by sending out a video of wide receiver Keenan Allen delivering a message to Raiders supporters as he ran off the field.

"Tell them weak a-- Raiders fans to go home," said Allen on the heels of a five-catch, 61-yard performance that included a touchdown.

The thing is, Raiders fans both 'weak a--' and otherwise were headed home. Or at least somewhere else because the NFL does not let fans hang out in stadiums overnight after a game.

If a player can't taunt fans who have been giving them the business for the previous three hours after a huge division win then when can they? Win on the road and there's carte blanch to rub it in a little.

Doing it after Week 2 is a bold move, though. Let's see it all plays out.
