INGLEWOOD, Calif -- Believe it or not, the Los Angeles Chargers appear to be in the driver's seat for the AFC West title. They beat the defending division and AFC champs Kansas City Chiefs last Sunday on the road and on Monday night at SoFi Stadium, they stunned the previously unbeaten Las Vegas Raiders, 28-14.
It could happen, as the Chargers (3-1) took a 21-0 halftime lead and held off the Raiders' (3-1) second-half charge.
The Chargers almost learned a lesson the hard way, though: Never depend on solely on your defense, no matter how good they're playing, and never underestimate the Raiders in the second half.
