Congrats, Raiders. You beat a corpse and called it destiny.

A 26–14 win at SoFi against an 0–2 Chargers team is not a renaissance. It’s a costume. New Orleans gets the privilege of ripping it off.

Last week

Chargers 14, Raiders 26

SoFi Stadium · Sun, Sept. 20 · CBS
Filed under False Hope, Vol. 48.

The Raiders went on the road, beat a Chargers team that cannot get out of its own way, and the fanbase immediately started writing October speeches. A division win over Los Angeles is not a personality.

Tom Brady collected the applause for a win over an 0–2 corpse. Tommy Boys football: borrow the aura, invoice the hope.

What actually happened

  • Final: Las Vegas 26, Los Angeles 14.
  • Kirk Cousins: 253 yards, three touchdowns — Tucker, White, White.
  • Defense: Masses two interceptions; late safety.

Brock Bowers inactive. Klint Kubiak 2–0. Filed. Laminated.

Next week as of this filing

At Saints · Sun, Sept. 27

Caesars Superdome · CBS. New Orleans is the hero of the episode.
