Takeaways from Chargers' 22-10 win over the Raiders: L.A. stuck to its ground game, the Joey Bosa-Khalil Mack combo was as advertised, receivers need work.
The Chargers started the Jim Harbaugh era with a 22-10 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. What we learned about the team that still has a lot to prove under its new coaching staff: The Chargers averaged just 2.2 yards per carry in the first half, running the ball nine times to 13 passing attempts.
Bosa tied for the team lead in tackles with seven, and had a sack and a forced fumble in his first game since suffering a foot injury last November. Mack was just as dominant with three tackles, 1½ sacks, a fumble recovery and tipped pass that resulted in an interception. The effort, combined with a stout interior led by defensive tackles Poona Ford and Otito Ogbonnia, held the Raiders to 71 yards rushing in 22 carries.
