Raiders vs Chargers live stream is here: How to watch Monday Night Football online

We're hours away from the Raiders vs Chargers live stream, which finds Vegas hoping for a win that won’t require overtime, while Los Angeles looks to use this NFL live stream to build off of last week’s huge win over the Chiefs.

The Raiders (3-0) seem to be hitting their stride in Jon Gruden’s second stint as the team’s head coach. The team is perfect after three weeks for the first time since 2002 and Derek Carr seems to be settling into the “franchise quarterback” role now more than ever. Carr threw for 386 yards on 26-of-43 passing with two touchdowns and an interception in last week’s overtime win over the Dolphins. The win marked the Raiders’ second overtime win this season.

Carr’s support has come by way of tight end Darren Waller and now the emergence of Henry Ruggs III. The 22-year-old was the first receiver taken in the wideout-heavy 2020 NFL draft. He went through struggles in his rookie season while other receivers like CeeDee Lamb and Justin Jefferson had more immediate impacts for their teams. Ruggs has caught nine passes for 191 yards and a touchdown over this last two games and through three games this year is already more than halfway to his receiving numbers through 13 games last season.

The Chargers (2-1) are coming off a big win over the Chiefs where they kept Patrick Mahomes uncomfortable throughout the game. The L.A. pass rush forced Mahomes into rushing throws and forced four turnovers. Mahomes threw two interceptions while Tyreek Hill and Clyde Edwards-Helaire each lost a fumble to the Chargers’ defense.

In last week’s win over the Chiefs, he came up in the clutch throwing for four touchdowns and went through his first game of the year without throwing an interception.
