Dean Spanos was left with only one choice as he watched his Los Angeles Chargers get pummeled 63-21 by the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday night. Friday's firings of coach Brandon Staley and general manager Tom Telesco could not wait until after the Chargers walked off the field on Jan. 8 against Kansas City or the morning of Jan. 9. “We wasn't ready to play and it showed out there today,” safety Derwin James said after Thursday night's game.
Four days was all the Las Vegas Raiders had to recover from their worst performance of the season. “We were kicking (butt),” said Raiders cornerback Jack Jones, who returned an interception for a touchdown. The Raiders set a franchise scoring record, topping the team's 59-14 victory at Denver on Oct. 24, 2010.
Four days after a 3-0 loss, Las Vegas scores seven touchdowns on offense and two on defense, with five takeaways in a 63-21 dismantling of Coach Brandon Staley’s squad. The Raiders led 42-0 at halftime.
Justin Herbert had started 62 consecutive regular-season games plus one playoff game until suffering a season-ending right index finger injury Sunday.
