The Bolts lost to the Raiders in overtime in the final game of the regular season, bringing a campaign that had promised so much to a bitter, premature end. They had nobody to blame but themselves, but that won't stop them from taking their frustrations out on their divisional rivals, who are now led by Josh McDaniels.
Justin Herbert looks every inch an MVP candidate, but moreso now than ever before, since the Chargers have strengthened their offensive line. Former Raider Khalil Mack is now part of a two-headed pass-rushing monster along with Joey Bosa, though this game will come too soon for new cornerback J.C. Jackson, who's still getting up to speed after ankle surgery.
Derek Carr's reunion with Davante Adams has got Black and Silver fans dreaming – no school record was safe when the duo joined forces at Fresno State. Next stop, Super Bowl? That's the plan now that the postseason drought is over, and Chandler Jones and Maxx Crosby will be instrumental to their chances.
It's a 4.25pm ET / 9.25pm BST kick-off at SoFi Stadium, today, 11th September 2022. Read on for more details on how to watch a Raiders vs Chargers live stream, wherever you are in the world.
