Las Vegas Raiders at Los Angeles Chargers: 3 players to watch in Week 9
By Alex Perl
The Las Vegas Raiders will head to SoFi Stadium to take on the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9. Here are three players to watch.
The 2020 NFL season is now almost halfway complete. Week 8 provided a dazzling victory for the Las Vegas Raiders, this mainly was the case because the usual porous defense only allowed six points to the Cleveland Browns.
Week 9 should be a tougher challenge, and while the weather will not play a part in this one, as the Raiders face off against their divisional rival the Chargers in sunny Los Angeles, they are facing an exciting young quarterback.
When taking a look at the Chargers (2-5) record, you might be fooled. This is a tough team led by a high octane offense and a rookie quarterback in Justin Herbert who are second in the NFL in total yards per game. Add in the fact the Chargers have not lost one game by more than a margin of one touchdown, and you can see this is a very competitive team.
With the tough task ahead, and one the Raiders (4-3) have a good chance of accomplishing, let’s take a look at the players to watch in Week 9.
