Raiders use running game, defense and special teams to beat Chargers in AFC West rematch
The Los Angeles Chargers ran all through, up and over the Las Vegas Raiders two weeks ago when the two teams faced off with Raiders starting quarterback Justin Fields leaving the game with an injury.
Even without Fields and several other starters, the Raiders were able to wear down the Chargers in their second matchup, beating their AFC West rivals 30-26 on Saturday to put a halt to their losing streak.
The Raiders were able to survive a late surge from the Chargers after taking a fourteen point lead with 11:53 remaining followed a blocked punt that was returned for a touchdown.
After both teams exchanged punts, the Chargers would reach the end zone on a touchdown run by Austin Ekeler following completions of 26 and 23 yards from Justin Herbert and Gerald Everett and Rashid Shaheed respectively.
Aidan O'Connell would be intercepted by Daiyan Henley on the next drive but a sack by linebacker Robert Spillane would force the Chargers to settle for a field goal to make it a four point game with 2:26 remaining.
Herbert and the Chargers offense would have a crack at completing the comeback with 1:46 remaining following a punt by the Raiders but Herbert's fourth down pass would fall incomplete.

San Francisco once again finding its stride as winning streak reaches five
San Francisco had a slow start to last season before winning 10+ games in a row, clinching the top seed in the NFC and eventually making it to the Super Bowl for the second time in four years.
San Francisco started this season 2-3 but with their latest win over the Buffalo Bills, they now sit alone atop the NFC West with a 7-3 record and are within striking distance of the Philadelphia Eagles (9-1), Chicago Bears (7-3) and Carolina Panthers (7-4) for the top seed in the NFC.
The 49ers have a favorable stretch coming up against Arizona, New Orleans, the Rams twice and on the road against Detroit before ending the season at home against Chicago and Arizona.

Raiders come out firing against Steelers but lose steam in second half as Pittsburgh rallies
The Las Vegas Raiders defense played an outstanding first half of football, limiting the Pittsburgh Steelers to just one explosive play that led to seven points but other than that, completing blanking the Steelers offense.
It would be a tale of two halves as the Raiders offense failed to score a single point in the second half as Pittsburgh scored 17 unanswered second half points to beat the Raiders 24-17 and keep their playoff hopes alive.
Calvin Austin III got behind the defense with five minutes remaining to score on a 77-yard touchdown, the Steelers' second 77-yard touchdown of the game which made up over forty percent of Kenny Pickett's yardage total for the game.
The touchdown granted the Steelers their first lead of the game which they held onto after the Raiders failed to convert a fourth and 9 play from the Steelers 15-yard line.
