The Oakland Raiders overcame a 3-0 deficit to set a franchise scoring record in their 63-21 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. The Raiders scored the most points in a single game in their history, surpassing the previous record of 59 points set in 1961.
The Raiders offense was firing on all cylinders, as quarterback Derek Carr threw for 347 yards and four touchdowns. Wide receiver Tyrell Williams had a career day, catching six passes for 105 yards and two touchdowns. Running back Josh Jacobs added another two touchdowns on the ground, while tight end Darren Waller had a career-high nine receptions for 88 yards.
The Raiders defense also played a big role in the victory, forcing three turnovers and holding the Chargers to just 21 points. Linebacker Tahir Whitehead led the way with two sacks and an interception, while safety Erik Harris had a key interception in the fourth quarter to seal the win.
The Raiders have now won four straight games and are currently tied for first place in the AFC West with the Kansas City Chiefs. With the win, the Raiders improved to 6-4 on the season and are in prime position to make a run at the playoffs.
The Raiders will look to keep their winning streak alive when they face the Cincinnati Bengals next Sunday. With a win, the Raiders could move into sole possession of first place in the division and continue their march towards the playoffs.
