The game is a critical AFC West matchup to try to keep up with Kansas City.
FOLLOWWeek 4 may be a little early to label a game as"must win." But Sunday's matchup between the Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers fits the bill.global mega-star unexpectedly showing up
to watch the game, Kansas City has sole possession of the AFC West again. Despite their Week 1 stumble against the Lions, Kansas City like a force. And with a combined one win from their next three opponents, the Chiefs don't look to be slowing down any time soon.Jimmy Garoppolo of the Las Vegas Raiders speaks with teammate Davante Adams during the fourth quarter against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Allegiant Stadium on September 24, 2023, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Even if Garoppolo can't go, running back Josh Jacobs and wide receiver Davante Adams are still two of the best at their positions. Against a Chargers defense that has given up the second-most yards in the league in 2023, the two All-Pro players could keep the Raiders in the game. The Chargers are dealing with their own set of injuries, but they do have a sign of hope. Star running back Austin Ekeler was back on the practice field for the first time since his Week 1 injury. He was a limited participant, but it's a good sign for a team that's struggled in the run game over the last two weeks.
