The Las Vegas Raiders evened the season series against the Los Angeles Chargers in week 13 and here are the studs and duds from a clutch division victory

The Las Vegas Raiders have had issues all season playing a complete game. They gave up big leads against Arizona, Kansas City, and Jacksonville, and have had trouble closing out opponents regardless of how big of a lead they had. Against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 13 it looked like we might have the same old demons crop up yet again late in the game.

Instead, the Raiders came through with a complete performance and were the ones to come back from a two-score deficit to win the game. The Raiders got contributions from all three phases of the game and were able to bounce back in a major way after some early miscues.

This may be the first game of the season, where the defense did, the heavy, lifting as they came through with a dominant performance. The office did his part, of course, but the headliners were mostly on the defensive side of the ball. Let’s take a look at the studs and duds from an important division victory in week 13.
