Raiders vs Los Angeles 2022 Week 13: Chargers to worry about

Offense: Justin Herbert and Austin Ekeler

The Los Angeles offense is loaded with talent, and it all starts at the quarterback position with Justin Herbert. This is a guy who has enjoyed great success against the Raiders in the past and will be looking to do so once again in Week 13.

With some of his key offensive linemen out, including Corey Linsley and Trey Pipkins III, Herbert will have to navigate a Las Vegas defensive front that has really come on the past few weeks. He will also be without Mike Williams in this matchup, so you can expect a heavy dose of both Keenan Allen, and running back Austin Ekeler.

On Sunday, Ekeler will look to dominate a Raiders defense that has struggled in a big way this season to stop both the run and the pass. He not only has over 550 yards rushing and seven touchdowns this season, but has also hauled in 80 passes already in 2022, finding the end zone five more times through the air.

These two are going to be a problem on Sunday.
