Chargers vs. Las Vegas Raiders: How to watch, predictions and betting odds
Wins are the only statistic that counts for Jim Harbaugh. Still, all the numbers matter, the head coach likes to say.
Although the Chargers are already in the postseason, they are still fighting for the distinction as the best defense in the NFL against Las Vegas Raiders at 1:25 p.m. PST Sunday.
Allowing a league-low average of 17.6 points per game, the Chargers (10-6) are in position to lead the NFL in scoring defense for just the second time in franchise history as they try to lock up the No. 5 seed in the AFC. Playing “winning football” throughout the season to clinch the team’s first playoff berth since 2022 was the top priority for first-year defensive coordinator Jesse Minter, but finishing the season in the No. 1 spot would be validating for the unit that ranked 24th in points allowed last season.
