O’Connell and Co. get rolling
Despite offensive struggles last week, this Raiders offense has flipped the right switch, leading by 42-0 after two quarters.
The Silver and Black got seven on the board thanks to a 12-play, 68-yard drive that was capped off with a Zamir White rushing touchdown. It was the first opening drive touchdown allowed by the Chargers this season. The Raiders’ next possession also finished in the end zone after a four-play, 42-yard drive, and a Tre Tucker touchdown.
Wide receiver Jakobi Meyers got in the mix with a 22-yard dot from quarterback Aidan O’Connell on their third drive of the game. The last time the Raiders scored on three back-to-back drives was on November 1, 2015, against the Jets.
This offense continued to have an explosive first half as they found the end zone two more times.
