The Las Vegas Raiders will look to split the season series against the Chargers in Week 13. Here are the key matchups to watch for on Sunday.

The Las Vegas Raiders are riding a two-game winning streak heading into Week 13 with both wins coming in tightly contested matchups that ended in overtime. After being on the receiving end of their first six one-score matchups and failing to notch a win on the road, the Silver and Black have come out on the winning side of each in their last two victories.

Now they have a chance to split the season series against the Chargers in Week 13.

The last time these two AFC West rivals met was back in the season opener when the Chargers staved off a Raiders comeback for a 24-19 win. Las Vegas flashed the potential of an efficient offense back in Week 1, but it was clear that all players were still acclimating to the new system.

After two impactful wins in the last two weeks, the Raiders should feel much more confident in going toe-to-toe with their division rival for round two on Sunday.

To achieve that goal means winning their matchups on both offense and defense. Here are the ones to keep an eye on between the Raiders and Chargers on Sunday.
