The Las Vegas Raiders didn’t score a point on Sunday and had to play Thursday night against the Los Angeles Chargers without 2022 NFL rushing leader Josh Jacobs, who missed the game due to injury.

At halftime, the Raiders had 42 points – four points short of their total for the previous four games combined — moving 68 yards for a touchdown on their first possession, then getting four touchdown passes from rookie quarterback Aidan O’Connell – three after Los Angeles fumbles – before halftime.

The 42-point halftime lead was the largest in franchise history for the Raiders, who then set another team record for points in a game by beating Los Angeles 63-21. Las Vegas’ point total also set a franchise record for the most points yielded by the Chargers.

In reaching those records, Las Vegas scored two touchdowns in the span of three Los Angeles snaps in the second half. Defensive tackle John Jenkins returned a fumble 44 yards and cornerback Jack Jones returned an interception 16 yards for touchdowns.

The Raiders became the first NFL team since 1950 to have eight players score touchdowns in a game.

O’Connell equaled his career total by throwing for four touchdowns against the Chargers as he completed 20-of-34 passes for 248 yards.

With Justin Herbert out because of a fractured finger, Easton Stick made his first NFL start at quarterback for Los Angeles. He completed 23-of-32 passes for 257 yards with three touchdowns and one interception. The interception and one of his two fumbles were returned for touchdowns.
