The Raiders executed a successful fake punt on the game's opening possession when punter Johnny Townsend raced 42 yards to Los Angeles' 21-yard line. Faced with a fourth-and-goal at the one-yard line, safety Derwin James stopped wide receiver Dwayne Harris on a jet sweep and the Chargers' took over on downs.

With the Raiders threatening to increase their lead at the Chargers' 21-yard line, defensive end Melvin Ingram sacked Derek Carr, who fumbled.

The turnover resulted in a 27-yard Michael Badgley field goal, which tied the game 3-3.

After forcing a three-and-out on Oakland's next possession, the Chargers continued their domination in the second quarter. A nine-play, 81-yard drive ending in an 11-yard touchdown reception by wide receiver Keenan Allen put Los Angeles up 10-3 at halftime. The Chargers have outscored their opponents 89-34 in the second quarter this season.

Gordon's touchdown was the only score in the third quarter. Los Angeles went up 20-6 in the fourth quarter on a 41-yard field goal by Badgley, who set a team record for most points (24) without a missed kick through three games.
