Three Stars
Erik Harris
Erik Harris was the star of the defense and of the entire first quarter. Harris notched two interceptions off of Philip Rivers, taking the latter back for a pick-six to jumpstart the Raiders’ 10-0 lead. Were it not for penalties, Harris could have had three interceptions early on for Oakland.
Maxx Crosby
Albeit he did have a momentum crushing offsides in the first half, but before that Maxx Crosby (with Clelin Ferrell on the opposite side) was an opposing duo against Los Angeles’ offensive line. Crosby constantly got in the face of Rivers, helping bring him down for two early sacks on the night.
Melvin Gordon III
After two early picks to start the night, the Chargers finally wised up with their playcalling and shifted to the ground game. Gordon finished with 22 carries for 108 yards and a touchdown.
