The Las Vegas Raiders are 5-3 after a thrilling win over the Los Angeles Chargers and here are 5 things we learned from the AFC West contest

The Las Vegas Raiders left it late against the Los Angeles Chargers as the game was not decided until the clock hit all zeros in the fourth quarter. It was another heartbreaking loss for the Chargers and a heart pounding win for the Raiders as they seem to only win close games in 2020.

Defensively the Raiders struggled to contain Justin Herbert and the Chargers offense all game long and were quite literally within inches of losing but they did just enough to win the game, including getting to the QB a few times and making his life difficult.

On offense, the Raiders moved the ball well on the ground and Derek Carr hit a few big-time throws to take the top off the Charger defense and eventually win the game.

There were teachable moments for both teams and they will both have plenty to talk about in this week’s film review sessions as they prepare for the next opponent. For the Raiders, here are the five things they will definitely be talking about all week and the five things Raider Nation learned about their team on Sunday.
