INGLEWOOD — You accidental it was an omen? The thought that a lightning onslaught caused a 35-minute hold of “Monday Night Football”, successful a stadium with a roof, connected a nighttime the Chargers were to play the Raiders?
Even successful SoCal, that storyline would beryllium hard to sell. Raiders manager Jon Gruden’s absorption erstwhile broadside justice Allen Baynes informed him the crushed for the hold became a meme successful abbreviated order.
Jon Gruden reacting to MNF being delayed for a lightning tempest contempt the stadium being a Dome:
— Alex👋 (@dbs408) October 5, 2021
And yes, it’s mode excessively casual to enactment that the squad that wears the lightning bolts had a fewer surprises of its ain for Gruden, his team, and what mightiness beryllium the largest section of Raider Nation connected the continent, during a rousing 28-14 Chargers triumph Monday night.
“It was a bummer due to the fact that we were acceptable to go, and we’re fortunate it wasn’t excessively long,” Chargers antiaircraft extremity Joey Bosa said. “We took it arsenic a bully motion for the Bolts.”
This was an businesslike show connected some sides of the ball, and it enactment the Chargers into a first-place necktie successful the AFC West astatine 3-1 with the Raiders and Denver Broncos. (Imagine, the squad that has played successful the past 2 Super Bowls is presently successful past place, Kansas City astatine 2-2.)
If this is simply a trend, it could assistance the Chargers physique their clientele successful their 5th play successful L.A., a task that their absorption seems to admit is simply a semipermanent endeavor. Doing truthful inactive mightiness ne'er forestall the takeover of their location games by Raiders fans – the creation of Monday night’s assemblage astatine SoFi Stadium was conservatively estimated astatine 80 percent metallic and achromatic – but it’s an unfair examination betwixt the teams’ instrumentality bases.
After all, the Raiders had a caput commencement of astir 4 decades.
SoCal fans adopted the Raiders erstwhile they archetypal arrived successful Los Angeles successful 1982, and determination seems to beryllium a truism with the fans of this squad wherever it is based: When you’re a Raiders fan, you’re successful for life. Most jilted fans are bitter, but L.A. Raiders fans not lone stayed loyal erstwhile the squad near for Oakland successful ’95 but doubled down, and successful the process provided plentifulness of concern for Southwest Airlines each play the squad had a location game. That has continued to this day.
It’s a shorter commute to Las Vegas, whether by aerial oregon by car. And games successful Inglewood supply the shortest commute of all. Thus, the show of Justin Herbert covering the earholes successful his helmet truthful helium could perceive a play telephone successful the 3rd quarter, arsenic the visiting fans roared earlier a third-and-10 play. They roared adjacent louder erstwhile erstwhile Charger Darius Philon sacked him connected the adjacent play.
Watching Raiders fans connected Monday nighttime arsenic they headed from the parking batch toward the stadium, crowded the concourses wrong and photobombed whenever the Chargers’ video unit tried to enactment shots of the location fans connected the Oculus board, it reminded maine of what I’ve said done each the years of L.A. stadium proposals and rumors. Whichever squad oregon teams coiled up successful this community, they and the NFL would person to woody with Raiders fans, acknowledging them arsenic a percent of NFL fans whose loyalties were ironclad.
And I wonderment immoderate happened to that divided Chargers-Raiders jersey that erstwhile Carson politician Albert Robles sported a fewer years back, erstwhile the seemingly incompatible teams announced the volition to stock a caller stadium successful that city. (It was, arsenic I recall, a mashup of Philip Rivers and Darren McFadden jerseys.) Somehow I don’t deliberation that garment would person gone implicit precise good successful SoFi connected Monday night.
The folks successful pulverization bluish mightiness person been successful the number but they recovered the nighttime much enjoyable. And similar we said, possibly the lightning hold – which knocked retired the Oculus committee concisely – was a sign. The Chargers dominated the archetypal half, with Herbert throwing 3 touchdown passes and the defence holding Las Vegas to 51 full yards connected 24 violative plays. The Raiders mightiness person travel into the crippled unbeaten, but the Twitterverse was savaging Gruden’s violative attack aft that half.
Las Vegas – and judge me, I person to support checking myself to marque definite I don’t benignant “Oakland” – made it adjacent for a bit. Derek Carr scrambled and recovered Hunter Renfrow for a 13-yard scoring walk connected the Raiders’ archetypal possession of the 2nd fractional (and archetypal sustained thrust of the game), and a 3-yard scoring flip to Darren Waller toward the extremity of the 3rd 4th made it 21-14 and presumably quieted the critics for a while.
But the Chargers’ defence came up with large plays down the stretch, including Christian Covington’s third-down sack of Carr (which led to a missed field-goal effort and a consequent Chargers touchdown) and Derwin James’ interception to chopped disconnected a Raiders thrust precocious successful the 4th quarter.
By then, the Chargers’ video committee folks had turned their attraction to the visitors successful their midst, with shots of Raiders fans heading toward the exits.
“It’s large to perceive ’em quiet,” Bosa quipped.
Turnabout is just play, considering a crippled betwixt the teams successful San Diego a fewer years ago, astatine a constituent erstwhile the Chargers each but committed to their L.A. move. The Raiders were winning big, the discouraged San Diego fans near early, and the Raider fans booed the Charger Girls creation squad arsenic it near the field.
No specified histrionics this time. When you’re tied for archetypal aft 4 weeks, it’s easier to instrumentality the precocious road.
