So, what does a 42-0 first half look like on the stat sheet?
The Raiders put 21 up on the Chargers in each of the first two quarters and the game wasn’t that close.
One could says the Bolts were stale–y
- Las Vegas had 283 yards of total offense to LA’s 89.
- The Raiders gained 7.3 yards before play, 4 more than the Bolts averaged.
- Aidan O’Connell and Jakobi Meyers combined for 207 yards compared to Easton Stick’s 62.
- The Raiders forced three turnovers as the Chargers lost a trio of fumbles.
The last time an NFL team had a 42-0 lead at the half was in 2014 when the Green Bay Packers led the Chicago Bears by that score in an eventual 55-14 romp.
Antonio Pierce asked by @KayleeHartung what he told his #Raiders team about the second half: “Press the gas pedal even harder.” 🫣

Richard Sherman offered a suggestion on Thursday Night Football.
