Chargers vs Raiders - Monday Night Football

The Chargers kicked ass on Monday Night Football against the Raiders. It was complete domination up in Oakland as the Chargers shut out the Raiders, 27 to 0.

LaDainian Tomlinson had a great game, running for 131 yards and a touchdown. Philip Rivers didn't have to throw that much in his first game as a starting quarterback, but he had a great 38 yard throw to Eric Parker right before getting leveled by Warren Sapp. This set up his touchdown pass to Antonio Gates in the 4th quarter to give the Chargers 20 points. This was the final nail in the coffin and the Raiders pulled Aaron Brooks and put in his back-up.

The main stars of the night for the Chargers was the defense completely shutting down the Raiders offense. Shawne Merriman lead with 3 sacks as the defense racked up 9 sacks total. When the Chargers have more sacks than the Raiders have completions, that is domination.

I think the Chargers should do well against the Tennessee Titans next Sunday.
