Three and Out: Oakland Raiders vs. San Diego Chargers
Three and Out is a weekly series that will examine three areas where the Oakland Raiders played well, and three areas where they didn’t.
In what is becoming a common trend for the 2016 Oakland Raiders, they won yet another game that came down to the wire with a 34-31 victory at home against the San Diego Chargers.
With the win, the Raiders moved to 4-1 on the season and into a tie for first place in the AFC West with the Denver Broncos, thanks to their loss to the Falcons in Week 5.
The 4-1 start is Oakland’s best since 2002, and the win also came one day after the 5th anniversary of the passing of Al Davis.
