Chargers defeat Raiders on the road behind Justin Herbert’s 2 touchdown passes
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The Los Angeles Chargers took care of another AFC West opponent, defeating the Las Vegas Raiders, 20-9, on “Monday Night Football.”
Justin Herbert and the Chargers left Sao Paulo, Brazil, with an emphatic win over the Kansas City Chiefs to start the 2025 campaign, snapping a long-standing losing streak to their division rival in the process. Seeing another key matchup in Week 2, Jim Harbaugh’s team didn’t squander the opportunity for another victory.
Herbert didn’t have to light up the stat sheet like he did against the Chiefs, but he was just as efficient, throwing for 235 yards on 18-of 26 with two touchdowns.

And Herbert found the same players he did in Brazil in the end zone, as Quentin Johnston and Keenan Allen were the recipients of those touchdowns in Las Vegas. Allen gave the Chargers a 10-3 lead when he sprinted to the back right of the end zone and Herbert, flushed out of the pocket, threw a strike to him for his second touchdown of the season.
Then, in the second quarter, Johnston ran the perfect route and Herbert had a clean pocket to deliver a deep ball for a 60-yard touchdown. It was Johnston’s third of the season after scoring twice in Brazil to aid the Chargers’ victory over the Chiefs.
Meanwhile, on the Raiders’ sideline, veteran quarterback Geno Smith was struggling. He went 24 of 43 for 180 yards with three interceptions and no touchdowns. The Chargers’ defense was making it tough for him to get into a rhythm, and it started from his very first dropback as a tipped pass ended up resulting in one of those picks.

Daiyan Henley, Tony Jefferson and Donte Jackson all had interceptions off Smith in the game, while the Chargers’ defense limited Las Vegas to just three Daniel Carlson field goals.
The Raiders’ defense was making it hard for the Chargers’ run game, though, as rookie Omarion Hampton managed just 24 yards on eight carries. Najee Harris also had eight touches for 28 yards, with Herbert leading the run game with 31 yards on nine carries.
Raiders rookie Ashton Jeanty had little success for Las Vegas, rushing 11 times for 42 yards. And though he was able to play while battling a knee injury, star tight end Brock Bowers was held to five catches for 38 yards.

Speedskater Erin Jackson will attempt to defend her Olympic gold in the 500 meters. Pairs figure skating begins, with Ellie Kam and Danny O’Shea the top American pair.

Jamaica unveil snazzy kits ahead of World Cup playoffs
We’re four months away from the start of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, but if they manage to qualify, Jamaica might have already sewn up the competition for the snazziest kits with their new home and away strips unveiled Friday.
Both ensembles have been designed in collaboration with the Bob Marley Foundation and as such are positively drenched in the vivid red, green and gold colors that have become synonymous with the legendary reggae star and Rastafarian culture.
The home shirt has a yellow-gold base overlaid with a weave pattern that makes it look like the crocheted garments and Rasta headwear Marley wore in the 1970s. There are also horizontal bands in black, red and green that span the shirt and feature a pattern intended to resemble vinyl records.
The away shirt is arguably even livelier, with the Jamaican national colors once again used to create a black alternative design that pays homage to the rocksteady rhythm of the island’s music.
The dark base is covered in line-drawn patterns inspired by soundwaves, vinyl records and even the reels of old cassette tapes. The Reggae Boyz/Girlz tag on the collar is also inspired by the font used by Marley’s record label, Tuff Gong. Added to that, the use of the classic trefoil logo in gold just caps everything off nicely.
Marley was known to love soccer and regularly played in matches against fellow musicians and even professional players, notably several members of Brazil‘s famous teams of the 70s. As such, there is a tag attached to the lower hem of both 2026 jerseys that bears a portrait of the icon alongside his well-known quote, “Football is freedom.”
All that’s left now is for Jamaica to actually qualify for their first World Cup since 1998. The Reggae Boyz finished second behind surprise package Curaçao in Concacaf Group B, meaning that two rounds of interconfederation playoffs in March still stand between them and a place at this summer’s tournament.
