Sitting with a 2-1 record, the Chargers should consider themselves fortunate. All things considered, they could easily have a goose egg in the win column going into Week 4.

The Raiders stifling defense was on fire yesterday as the Oakland Raiders almost pulled off an upset on Monday night which would have put the Chargers in very familiar territory.
