Las Vegas Raiders vs. Los Angeles Chargers Live Game Updates
LAS VEGAS, Nev.-The Las Vegas Raiders (4-7) are on fire while their AFC West rival Los Angeles Chargers are not, and all of that sets the stage for a big game.
In rivalries, records don't matter; this game is about will, fight, and pride.
The Silver and Black dug themselves a deep hole early in the year but have found their stride, like last season, and look to send the Bolts back to LA with a loss.
Remember the rule of five. The game is over if the Las Vegas Raiders win that key statistical battle. It has to do with sacks and turnovers, for those who don't remember it. If the Raiders have three sacks and give up two, they are plus one. They are plus three if they get four turnovers and give up only one. That would give them a plus-four for the day. They want to get to a plus-five ratio every game. On average, teams that reach the rule of five scenarios win 91 percent of their NFL games.

HALFTIME:
It's fitting that the Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers would play a first half that would see both teams be unable to pull away from the other.
It didn't start off well for the silver and black, with quarterback Derek Carr throwing a pick-six on the Raiders third offensive possession.
Carr, though, would be able to make multiple big throws in the first half, and running back Josh Jacobs is picking up right where he left off from last week with 61 rushing yards and a touchdown.
What's been maybe the most notable aspect of the game is how much pressure the Raiders have been able to get on Chargers QB Justin Herbert.
In particular, defensive end Chandler Jones finally looks like his old self, racking up three first-half sacks and looking unstoppable.
It's the kind of performance that the Raiders have been waiting for all season, and he has the chance to add to his total as the second-half gets underway.
