USA Today Sports was on the ground in Las Vegas in their second week game. The winners and losers of AFC West Battle are:

The Chargers’ defense
Linebacker Dian Henry intercepted a biased pass from Geno Smith in the first play of the game.
The deflection was the theme. The charger had eight pass deflections in the first half.
In total, the Chargers’ defense produced an impressive 15 pass deflection and three intercepts in the victory. Los Angeles’ stingy defense bottled the Raiders’ offense and locked them out of the end zone.
Henry and Chargers Safety Darwin James Jr. was the best two players on the field.
Henry put together the game high 10 tackles, one bag, one intercept and two passes deflections. James tallied seven tackles and two passes deflections.
The worst news is that Halil Mac suffered an elbow injury in the first quarter and did not return. Mac watched the second half with his arms on the sling from the bench.
Quentin Johnston
Johnston caught a 60-yard touchdown late in the second quarter, giving the charger a 17-6 advantage.
Johnston produced three catches and a touchdown for 71 yards.
The Chargers Wideout has three touchdowns in the first two weeks of the regular season.
Cameron Dicker
Dicker has become the most accurate kicker in NFL history for a player with a minimum of 100 attempts.
Dicker changed two field goals in the victory.
Jim Harbaugh and Pete Carroll’s head coaching rivalry
Jim Harbaugh is 5-5 vs. Pete Carroll in his NFL head coaching career following the victory.
Pete Carroll (Also)
On Monday I hit Carol’s 74.th birthday. He is the oldest coach in NFL history.
Allegiant Stadium and Las Vegas
Allegiant Stadium is back in the spotlight of “Monday Night Football” two days after Terence Crawford defeated Canelo Alvarez inside the venue at the Markee Boxing Showdown. Crawford returned to the building Monday with his new championship belt.

Raiders Attack
The Raiders’ attack was booed multiple times by the home crowd in the second half.
The first boobs came when the Raiders chose to expire the third quarter time while finishing 20-6.
With the same ownership in the fourth quarter, the Las Vegas crowd booed again as the Raiders settled on field goal at the end of a long 19-play drive.
The Raiders were offered out of the loss end zone.
Genosmith
Smith was chosen in his first play of the game. It represented a night like the one for the Raiders quarterback.
Smith Air mailed the couple’s throws and never found a rhythm behind the center.
The Raiders quarterback was intercepted three times and 15 passes were defended.
Smith finished 43-24 for 180 yards and received three interceptions. He ended with a terrible 37 passerby review.
Kansas City Chiefs
The 0-2 Chief won AFC West for the ninth year in a row, but since the second week, he found two games in two games with the 2-0 charger.
