Los Angeles Chargers Depth Chart

​Hello, and welcome to another edition of ‘Live-Blogging Shish on Professional Football’. Tonight, it is ESPN’s Monday Night Football, between undefeated Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers.
 
Raiders are one of two undefeated teams, who are undefeated. They are hoping to add on to their win column, as they face the Chargers.
 
They are also playing in Los Angeles, for the first time with fans at SoFi Stadium. The last time they played in LA with fans was 1994, before Al Davis moved the AFC Charter Franchise to Oakland.
 
For the Chargers, they are off to a 2-1 start. There is a lot of praise for 2nd year quarterback Justin Herbert. But what will help Herbert and the Chargers, is to beat their old in-state division rival Raiders, who are enjoying the Vegas Strip.
 
It is Las Vegas Raiders taking on Los Angeles Chargers, coming up shortly.

The game is in a lightning delay at the indoor SoFi Stadium. 

Raiders are in their road white jerseys, silver helmets and pants. While Chargers are in their home blue and gold pants, and white helmets.
