Match Overview

The matchup was decided by a combination of quarterback efficiency, explosive passing plays, and defensive takeaways. Los Angeles did not dominate possession time, as Las Vegas held the ball for 31:43 compared with 28:17 for the Chargers. However, the Chargers produced significantly more yards and turned their offensive opportunities into touchdowns.

Los Angeles finished with 317 total yards on 55 plays, averaging 5.8 yards per play. Las Vegas managed 218 total yards on 65 plays and averaged only 3.4 yards per play. The difference was especially important because the Raiders ran more plays but gained considerably less yardage from them.

The Chargers also protected the football better from an interception standpoint. Herbert finished without an interception, while Smith threw three. Los Angeles did lose one fumble, meaning the overall turnover margin was plus two for the Chargers rather than plus three. The three-interception difference was nevertheless one of the most important statistical features of the game.

Justin Herbert Passing Stats

Justin Herbert was one of the central figures in the Chargers’ victory. He completed 19 of 27 passes for 242 yards and two touchdowns without throwing an interception. His average was approximately 9.0 yards per attempt, showing that Los Angeles was able to generate substantial production from relatively limited passing volume.

Herbert’s most important contribution came through his ability to connect on explosive plays. His 60-yard touchdown pass to Quentin Johnston was the longest scoring play of the game and immediately demonstrated the value of the Chargers’ downfield passing attack.

Herbert also connected with Keenan Allen for a 10-yard touchdown in the first quarter. Those two touchdown passes accounted for all of the Chargers’ offensive touchdowns during the game.

His passing performance was particularly effective because he avoided the costly mistakes that affected the Raiders. While Las Vegas repeatedly had to recover from turnovers, Herbert was able to manage the passing game without giving the Raiders an interception opportunity.

Geno Smith Passing Stats

Geno Smith experienced a much more difficult statistical performance for Las Vegas. He completed 24 of 43 attempts for 180 yards, with no touchdown passes and three interceptions.

Smith’s completion total was higher than Herbert’s, but the efficiency difference was significant. Smith averaged about 4.2 yards per attempt, while Herbert averaged close to 9.0. This illustrates why completion totals alone do not necessarily describe a quarterback’s effectiveness.

The three interceptions also damaged several Raiders possessions. Daiyan Henley, Tony Jefferson, and Donte Jackson each recorded an interception for the Chargers. Donte Jackson’s interception came in the end zone and prevented Las Vegas from converting an important scoring opportunity.

The Raiders therefore finished with 180 passing yards but no passing touchdowns. Their nine points all came from field goals by Daniel Carlson.

Chargers Rushing Stats

The Chargers did not produce a huge rushing total, but Justin Herbert led the team on the ground with nine carries for 31 yards. He averaged 3.4 yards per carry and had a longest run of 12 yards.

Najee Harris carried eight times for 28 yards, averaging 3.5 yards per attempt. Omarion Hampton also received eight rushing attempts and finished with 24 yards, including a 15-yard long run.

As a team, Los Angeles recorded 81 rushing yards on 26 attempts. The running game was therefore more about maintaining balance and supporting the passing attack than producing a dominant rushing performance.

Herbert’s mobility was especially useful because his rushing yards added another dimension to the Chargers’ offense. His ability to gain yards with his legs also helped Los Angeles sustain drives and control the game late.

Raiders Rushing Stats

Ashton Jeanty led the Raiders’ rushing attack with 11 carries for 43 yards. He averaged 3.9 yards per carry and produced a longest run of 13 yards.

Geno Smith added 20 rushing yards on five carries, averaging four yards per attempt. Tre Tucker recorded seven yards on one carry, while Zamir White finished with negative rushing yardage.

The Raiders accumulated 68 rushing yards on 19 attempts. Jeanty’s 43 yards represented the largest individual rushing contribution for Las Vegas, but the overall ground game did not produce a touchdown.

The limited rushing production made it more difficult for Las Vegas to compensate for Smith’s struggles in the passing game. Once the Raiders fell behind, their offense continued to face pressure to create through the air.

Quentin Johnston Receiving Stats

Quentin Johnston produced one of the biggest individual plays of the game. He caught three passes for 71 yards and one touchdown, averaging 23.7 yards per reception.

His most important reception was a 60-yard touchdown from Herbert in the second quarter. That play gave the Chargers a major field-position and scoring advantage and represented the longest reception of the night.

Johnston did not lead the Chargers in receptions, but his combination of efficiency and explosiveness made his contribution particularly significant. Three catches for 71 yards meant that each reception produced substantial yardage.

Keenan Allen Receiving Stats

Keenan Allen was another important contributor for Los Angeles. He caught five passes for 61 yards and one touchdown on seven targets.

Allen’s 10-yard touchdown reception came during the first quarter and helped the Chargers establish early control of the scoreboard. His five receptions also tied Ladd McConkey for the team lead in catches.

With 61 receiving yards, Allen provided a reliable intermediate option while Johnston supplied the explosive deep play. The combination gave Herbert different ways to move the football.

Ladd McConkey and Other Chargers Receivers

Ladd McConkey also caught five passes, finishing with 48 yards on five targets. His longest reception covered 19 yards.

Tre’ Harris caught two passes for 34 yards, while Najee Harris recorded two receptions for 20 yards. Will Dissly and Omarion Hampton also contributed as receiving options.

Overall, the Chargers completed 19 passes for 242 receiving yards and two touchdowns. The receiving group was productive without requiring one player to handle an overwhelming share of the offense.

Jakobi Meyers Receiving Stats

Jakobi Meyers was the leading receiver for Las Vegas. He caught six passes for 68 yards on 12 targets, averaging 11.3 yards per reception.

Meyers accounted for a substantial portion of the Raiders’ passing production, but he was unable to find the end zone. His longest reception was 25 yards.

The number of targets he received also demonstrates how heavily the Raiders depended on him during the passing game. However, the Chargers’ defensive pressure and interceptions prevented Las Vegas from converting that volume into touchdowns.

Brock Bowers Receiving Stats

Brock Bowers caught five passes for 38 yards on eight targets. His longest reception covered nine yards.

Although Bowers was involved consistently, the Chargers prevented him from generating the type of explosive production that can change a game. His 38 yards ranked behind Meyers among Raiders receivers.

Bowers’ involvement was nevertheless important because he remained one of Smith’s primary receiving options. The problem for Las Vegas was that consistent short gains were not enough to compensate for the turnovers and lack of passing touchdowns.

Raiders’ Other Receiving Contributors

Dont’e Thornton Jr. recorded one reception for 20 yards, giving him the Raiders’ second-highest yards-per-catch figure among the primary contributors. Dylan Laube caught two passes for 17 yards, while Zamir White added two receptions for 15 yards.

Tre Tucker caught three passes for 12 yards, and Michael Mayer finished with two receptions for nine yards. Ashton Jeanty also caught three passes, although they produced only one receiving yard.

The Raiders finished with 24 receptions for 180 yards and no receiving touchdowns. That statistic summarizes one of the central differences between the two offenses: Las Vegas completed more passes but generated much less yardage and failed to score a passing touchdown.

Chargers Defensive Player Stats

The Chargers defense produced three interceptions and three sacks against Smith. Daiyan Henley was particularly influential, recording an interception and a sack while finishing with 10 total tackles.

Tarheeb Still recorded nine tackles, while Derwin James Jr. added seven tackles. Tuli Tuipulotu also contributed five tackles.

Tony Jefferson recorded one interception, and Donte Jackson added another. Jackson’s interception in the end zone was especially important because it stopped a Raiders scoring opportunity.

The defensive performance demonstrated the importance of creating turnovers rather than simply accumulating tackles. The Chargers were able to limit Las Vegas to nine points despite the Raiders running 65 offensive plays.

Raiders Defensive Player Stats

Las Vegas also generated pressure against Herbert and recorded two sacks as a team. Jonah Laulu was credited with two sacks in the game, giving the Raiders a way to pressure the Chargers’ quarterback.

The Raiders defense had opportunities to disrupt Los Angeles, but the Chargers’ offense avoided the interceptions that plagued Las Vegas. This difference ultimately limited the impact of the Raiders’ defensive pressure.

The Raiders were also able to keep the Chargers from producing a touchdown after halftime. Los Angeles scored only three points in the third quarter and none in the fourth, but the early advantage was sufficient to secure the victory.

Turnover Battle

Turnovers were one of the clearest statistical differences between the teams. Las Vegas committed three turnovers, all interceptions by Smith. Los Angeles committed one turnover through a lost fumble.

That produced a turnover margin of plus two for the Chargers. The Chargers’ three interceptions were especially valuable because they ended Raiders possessions without allowing Las Vegas to finish several drives with points.

The defensive takeaways also helped compensate for the Chargers’ relatively modest rushing production. Instead of relying on long rushing drives, Los Angeles repeatedly benefited from winning the possession battle at critical moments.

Total Offense and Efficiency

The official team statistics show that Los Angeles produced 317 total yards compared with 218 for Las Vegas. The Chargers averaged 5.8 yards per play, while the Raiders averaged only 3.4.

There is an important statistical distinction when comparing passing and rushing figures. Herbert’s 242 passing yards and the Chargers’ 81 rushing yards add up to 323 gross yards, while the official total offense is 317 because sacks are included in the calculation of net passing production. Similarly, the Raiders’ 180 passing yards plus 68 rushing yards equal 248 gross yards, while their official total offense is 218 after accounting for sack yardage.

This distinction is useful when analyzing player statistics because quarterback passing yards and official team total yards are not always directly additive.

Special Teams Performance

Special teams also contributed to the final score. Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker made both of his field-goal attempts and both extra-point attempts. He finished with eight points.

Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson converted all three of his field-goal attempts, including a 54-yard kick. Carlson accounted for all nine Raiders points.

The kicking statistics show that Las Vegas was able to finish some drives with points but could not convert those opportunities into touchdowns. Los Angeles, meanwhile, combined two offensive touchdowns with a successful field goal and extra points.

The Chargers also received useful return production. Their kickoff return unit recorded 80 yards on three returns, while the Raiders accumulated 91 kickoff-return yards on four returns.

Punting Comparison

JK Scott handled the Chargers’ punting duties and recorded three punts for 158 yards, an average of 52.7 yards per punt. His longest punt traveled 56 yards, and two of his punts finished inside the 20-yard line.

Raiders punter AJ Cole recorded two punts for 114 yards, averaging 57 yards per punt. His longest punt traveled 60 yards, with one landing inside the 20.

The punting numbers show that both teams received strong distance from their punters. However, field position alone could not overcome the Raiders’ offensive turnovers.

How the Chargers Built Their Lead

Los Angeles established control early. Cameron Dicker opened the scoring with a 38-yard field goal, and the Raiders responded with Carlson’s 54-yard field goal.

The Chargers then produced their first touchdown when Herbert connected with Allen for 10 yards. Carlson added another field goal before Herbert found Johnston for the 60-yard touchdown.

By halftime, the Chargers had built a 17–6 advantage. That early cushion proved important because the Raiders never produced an offensive touchdown during the remainder of the game.

Dicker added another field goal in the third quarter, while Carlson made another field goal in the fourth. The final scoring sequence left Los Angeles with a 20–9 victory.

Why the Player Stats Matter

The Los Angeles Chargers vs Las Vegas Raiders match player stats show that the game was not simply decided by the final score. Herbert’s 242 passing yards and two touchdowns provided the Chargers with efficient offensive production, while Johnston and Allen supplied the two touchdown receptions.

For Las Vegas, Smith’s 180 passing yards were overshadowed by the three interceptions and lack of touchdowns. Jeanty’s 43 rushing yards and Meyers’ 68 receiving yards were useful individual contributions, but neither production was enough to create a touchdown-producing offense.

The defensive statistics tell an equally important story. Three Chargers interceptions prevented the Raiders from converting possessions into scoring opportunities, while Henley, Jefferson, and Jackson each made a direct impact in the turnover battle.

Final Statistical Summary

The Chargers finished the game with 317 official total yards, while the Raiders produced 218. Los Angeles had 242 passing yards and 81 rushing yards, while Las Vegas recorded 180 passing yards and 68 rushing yards.

Herbert completed 19 of 27 passes for 242 yards and two touchdowns. Smith completed 24 of 43 passes for 180 yards, with three interceptions and no touchdowns.

Johnston led the Chargers in receiving yards with 71 and scored once, while Allen caught five passes for 61 yards and a touchdown. Meyers led the Raiders with six receptions for 68 yards, while Bowers caught five passes for 38 yards.

Jeanty led the Raiders in rushing with 43 yards, while Herbert led all Chargers rushers with 31 yards. Defensively, Henley produced 10 tackles, one sack, and one interception, while the Chargers as a team recorded three interceptions.

The overall statistical picture therefore reflects a game in which Los Angeles was more efficient with its offensive possessions and substantially better at protecting the football. Las Vegas ran more plays and possessed the ball longer, but the Chargers generated more yards per play and converted their biggest opportunities into touchdowns.

Final Thoughts

The September 15, 2025 meeting between the Los Angeles Chargers and Las Vegas Raiders produced a 20–9 Chargers victory, but the player statistics explain the result in greater detail. Herbert’s efficient passing, two touchdown connections, and zero interceptions gave Los Angeles a stable offensive foundation.

Johnston’s 60-yard touchdown and Allen’s first-quarter touchdown supplied the Chargers with the explosive scoring plays they needed. On defense, three interceptions of Smith repeatedly disrupted the Raiders’ attempts to build momentum.

Las Vegas had productive individual performances from Jeanty and Meyers, while Carlson was perfect on three field-goal attempts. However, the Raiders could not turn those contributions into offensive touchdowns.

The final statistics therefore show a clear contrast in efficiency. The Chargers produced 317 official total yards at 5.8 yards per play and scored 20 points, while the Raiders produced 218 yards at 3.4 yards per play and scored nine. Those numbers, combined with the turnover differential, provide the clearest statistical explanation of the game.
