There was nothing special about the Los Angeles Chargers on "Thursday Night Football".
They came out flat and that continued well throughout the game.
The Las Vegas Raiders were up 21-0 at the end of the first quarter. By halftime, they had added three more touchdowns to take a 42-0 lead.
This thing was over before it began, but for good measure, Las Vegas came out in the second half and added this touchdown pass from wideout Jakobi Meyers to wideout Davante Adams.
The #Raiders are just playing games with the Chargers now. It's 49-0. They have Jakobi Meyers out here throwing to Davante Adams.

At that point, the Raiders were simply trolling the Chargers and there was nothing L.A. could do about it. So much so, that when the Chargers finally got on the board thanks to a 77-yard touchdown pass from Easton Stick to Joshua Palmer – the Chargers social media team did a bit of trolling of their own.
Against their own team.

Justin Herbert, the Chargers' normal starting quarterback, was put on the IR last Tuesday after he underwent surgery on a broken finger.
Despite this touchdown pass, the Stick era of Chargers football has not been off to a good start.
