The Chargers are 8-4 as the calendar has flipped to December.
The Bolts will host the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football in Week 14. Kickoff from SoFi Stadium is at 5:15 p.m. (PT).
Here are three key Chargers stats ahead of Week 14.
1. Kimani Vidal's big day
Chargers Head Coach Jim Harbaugh summed up Kimani Vidal's Week 13 performance in only a few words.
"Some stellar plays by Kimani Vidal," Harbaugh said.
Vidal for a career-best 126 yards on 25 attempts, with his 59-yard touchdown run helping swing momentum in the Chargers favor to open the second half.
According to NFL Next Gen Stats, Vidal forced 12 missed tackles against the Raiders, the most by a Chargers player since the 2020 season.
Vidal gained 89 yards off missed tackles, the eighth-most by any player in a game this season.
Vidal has now rushed for 543 yards and three touchdowns so far in 2025.
2. Perfect AFC West record
A key reason the Chargers are firmly in the AFC playoff picture?
The Bolts are a perfect 4-0 in AFC West play so far this season, including a season sweep of the Raiders. The Chargers are at the Chiefs in Week 15 and at Denver in Week 18.
The strong division record has become a trend under Harbaugh, as the Chargers are 8-2 in division games since the Chargers Head Coach arrived in 2024.
Only the Texans (9-2) have a better record in division games since 2024 than the Chargers.
If the Chargers can win one (or both) of their final AFC West games, there's a good chance they will be in the playoffs.
3. More dominance on 3rd down
The Chargers defense dominated the Raiders in multiple categories Sunday, giving up just 156 total yards, only 31 rushing yards and limiting Las Vegas to just 12 first downs.
Jesse Minter's group also won the day on third down as the Bolts limited Las Vegas to convert on just 2-of-8 tries. Overall, the Chargers now rank fourth in the NFL in third-down defense at 34.78 percent.
All in all, the Bolts rank eighth in defensive success rate (42.0 percent) and are ninth in defensive EPA per play (-0.051).
