The Las Vegas Raiders (1-0) are all set to take on the Los Angeles Chargers (0-2) on the road in Week 2. It is a critical game for both teams: not only is it a divisional matchup, but the Raiders are also in position to have a strong start to the season for the first time in many years.

The Raiders have faced plenty of issues in recent seasons; few have plagued them more than terrible starts. Las Vegas has started most of the past few seasons with losing records, which only got worse as the seasons went on.

Luckily, Las Vegas looked like a much-improved team last Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, but the Chargers are a much better team. The Raiders will have their work cut out for them, as the Chargers have a coaching staff and roster that have been together for a while.

As they enter their Week 2 matchup against the Chargers, Las Vegas aims to build on what worked in their season-opening win. It would be fair to expect the Chargers to play better on Sunday than they did in Week 1, but the Raiders don't have to look far for the blueprint to beating Los Angeles.

Los Angeles' Week 1 loss featured many of the things the Raiders did well in Week 1. The Arizona Cardinals pressured Justin Herbert, sacking him three times. The Raiders registered five sacks last week. The Cardinals held the Chargers to 81 rushing yards; the Raiders held Miami to 74.

The Cardinals forced two turnovers against the Chargers. Last week, the Raiders forced two turnovers. Arizona and Las Vegas won by double digits with similar scores: the Cardinals won 26-14, and the Raiders won 27-13. No two games are ever the same, but there is reason for optimism.

With it only being the second game with Klint Kubiak at the helm, Las Vegas enters their Week 2 matchup with plenty of work still needing to be done. Yet, they also enter largely unknown, having walked away with a Week 1 win without showing too much of their hand.

The Chargers are arguably the better team right now, as Las Vegas is just now digging their way out of a hole that was years in the making. However, this could work in the Raiders' favor, as the Chargers face heavy pressure to avoid a 0-2 start, especially since it would mean the Raiders move to 2-0.

The Raiders have struggled within the division for much of the past two seasons; Las Vegas has especially struggled against the Chargers on the road since both teams relocated to their new stadiums. Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak hopes a large turnout of Raiders fans will impact the game.

"We're always excited to play in front of our fans no matter where it is. I know there's going to be plenty of fans there, Silver and Black. So, we're excited to play the game, and our fans always give us extra juice," Kubiak said earlier this week.
