Game Recap

The Chargers weren't the first ones on the board on Sunday, but they got there more often. They took their matchup against Oakland 20-6. That result was just more of the same for the Chargers, who also won the last time these teams played.

Melvin Gordon, who picked up 93 yards on the ground on 18 carries and caught 5 passes for 72 yards, was a major factor in the Chargers's success. That makes it eight straight good games in a row from Gordon. Philip Rivers was in the mix, too, providing the Chargers with two touchdowns.

The win (their sixth in a row) raised the Chargers's record to 7-2. Oakland's defeat makes it five in a row and drags their record down to 1-8.

Next week the Chargers will take on Denver at 5:05 p.m. Unlike the Chargers, Denver will be limping in after taking a loss. As for Oakland, they will go up against Arizona. Both of those teams will be looking to wash their mouths of the bitter taste of defeat when they meet up.
