Unbelievable Stat Reveals Just How Crippling Chargers’ Defense Was Against Raiders
Can a defense be so suffocating that it practically rewrites the playbook on disruption? Well, if you caught the Los Angeles Chargers’ Week 2 thriller against the Raiders, you might just say yes—and then some. Watching seven different Chargers snag multiple passes defensed in one game? That’s not just impressive; it’s historic, tying a record that’s stood strong since ‘99. Now, am I the only one wondering if Geno Smith thought he accidentally wandered into a brick wall in the desert? The Chargers’ defense, masterminded by Jesse Minter, didn’t just hold their own—they dominated, dismantling plays before they could even bloom. With two AFC West rivals down already and a potential 3-0 start on the horizon—something they haven’t seen since 2002—this team is flashing signs that they’re not just here to play, but to conquer. And with Jim Harbaugh at the helm, his proven winning mojo clearly rubbing off, the question isn’t can they keep it up—it’s who’s going to stop them?
The Los Angeles Chargers look to be for real this season.
Their offense has been solid, but their defense has been spectacular in the first two games.
They were especially sharp in their Week 2 win against the Las Vegas Raiders.
“The Chargers had 7 players with multiple passes defensed against the Raiders. That’s tied for the most in a game (since the stat was first tracked in 1999),” NFL+ wrote on X.

Coordinator Jesse Minter’s defense kept Raiders quarterback Geno Smith under control from start to finish.
He failed to complete any of his passes of more than 10 yards, and he threw three interceptions.
The L.A. front seven constantly beat the Las Vegas offensive line and generated pressure, and the secondary did an elite job of finishing the job.
The Chargers have defeated two AFC West rivals in the first two games, including a Week 1 victory against the Kansas City Chiefs in Brazil.
They will look to keep this streak going in Week 3 when they face another divisional foe.
The Denver Broncos pose a threat, but the Chargers have shown that they can get to the quarterback and force turnovers.
A win would give Los Angeles its first 3-0 start since the 2002 season.
Head coach Jim Harbaugh is a proven winner, and it’s more than evident that he’s made a big impact in his second season.
