The Los Angeles Chargers didn’t even need to make a final statement Sunday, running out the clock near the goal line rather than ramming in one final indignity against a Raiders team that was beaten in every way possible.
The final score was 26-10 in Carson, and it wasn’t that close. It was the worst nightmare for owner Mark Davis, who brought back Jon Gruden specifically to avoid these types of non-competitive games.
Davis wants to win, but what he absolutely loathes is the embarrassing loss. A no-show in London against Miami sealed Dennis Allen’s doom in 2014.
