Three Stars

1. Philip Rivers

The veteran had the Raiders number on Sunday, as he was able to make big throw after big throw, sending the Silver and Black to their fourth loss. Philip Rivers threw for over 300 yards in the contest, completing over 80 percent of his passes, while connecting on two touchdown passes.

2. Melvin Ingram

Melvin Ingram is one of the best defensive players in football, and the Chargers needed him in a big way on Sunday, especially with Joey Bosa still sidelined. He showed up big time for his team, sealing the victory with a huge interception of Derek Carr in the end zone, and was able to handle the Raiders rookie tackles all game long.

3. Melvin Gordon

Whether on the ground, or through the air, Melvin Gordon just knows how to get the job done for the Chargers, and he had a ton of all-purpose yards on Sunday. Gordon scored a touchdown, had 120 yard total, and it seemed like every time the Chargers needed a first down, there was No. 28.
