Los Angeles and the New England Patriots, each ****** , are just outside the postseason picture. The Cincinnati Bengals and New York Jets, each ****** , are just inside.That's not the case for Las Vegas, which at ****** is trying to work its way to . ****** after consecutive overtime road victories.You look closer to that record and how the games have actually been played, I think theyve lost six games Jason Zucker Jersey by one score, Chargers coach Brandon Staley said. "You know that this is a dangerous team from the first time we played them, and theyre still a dangerous team.The Chargers in the season opener after holding off a late Raiders rally. Los Angeles has since dealt with injuries to players such as linebacker Joey Bosa and wide receiver Mike Williams, and the Raiders underperformed expectations.The depth of their roster has really been challenged, and theyve used a lot of people, Raiders coach Josh McDaniels said of the Chargers. Theyve gone in there and played good football. I dont say its a completely different team, but there are some changes from the first time we played them three months ago to now. "So a lot of our focus is going to be on just getting familiar with the people that were going to be lined up against, which is a little different than the first game."A BAD RUN The Chargers have allowed at least ****** rushing Jared Spurgeon Jersey yards in five straight games and six ****** yard rushers on the season. It doesnt get any easier this week with Josh Jacobs. The fourth-year running back has only one ****** yard game in six meetings, but that came in last years Week ****** overtime thriller in Las Vegas. Jacobs rushed for ****** yards in the Week 1 meeting, but averaged 5.7 yards per carry. The Chargers are giving up 5.44 yards per carry, which is the highest a team has allowed in its first ****** games since the merger. They know how to run the ball. They have an identity. They have tight ends who can block, which makes the running game go a lot better, Staley said. You cant block everything perfectly, you have to have running backs that can create on their own. Josh Chris Stewart Jersey is as good as anybody at that because he can make you mi s and he can run through you. Hes a very dangerous player. Theyve really established a consistency in that phase. FINDING ANOTHER GEAR Justin Herbert hasnt had a ****** yard pa sing game since Week 4 at Houston, but the pa sing attack is beginning to show signs of progre s with Keenan Allen in the lineup the past two games. Allen has ****** catches for ****** yards and a touchdown since returning from a hamstring injury that caused him to mi s seven of the first nine games. Allen originally sustained the injury during the first half against the Raiders on Sept. 11. Williams is dealing with an ankle injury, which has prevented the Chargers from going downfield consistently. But Herbert is being able to throw more on intermediate ****** to ****** yard routes since Allens return compared to mainly checking it down near the line Devan Dubnyk Jersey of scrimmage, which was the case for two games when both Allen and Williams were out of the lineup. Running back Austin Ekeler continues to be a scoring threat with ****** touchdowns, including five receiving. He is also Herberts most-trusted target with ****** receptions, the most by a running back through ****** games in NFL history. NOT FRIENDS THIS WEEKLas Vegas quarterback Derek Carr and Los Angeles defensive end Khalil Mack were once teammates with the Raiders.Mack has bragging rights in their relationship after sacking Carr three times in the opener.At the end the day, were friends, Carr said.
