Justin Herbert and the Chargers earned a measure of revenge Sunday when they defeated the Las Vegas Raiders 24-19 at SoFi Stadium to open the 2022 NFL season on Sunday. The win came roughly nine months after the Raiders defeated the Chargers in the final game of the 2021 NFL regular season, annihilating the Chargers’ playoff hopes.
