The Los Angeles Chargers fell to 0-2 on the season after losing to the Las Vegas Raiders 26-14 on Sunday.

The Raiders, meanwhile, improved to 2-0 with the stunning upset.

Kirk Cousins passed for three touchdowns, including two to practice squad call-up Cody White, while Justin Herbert threw a pair of interceptions.

The Chargers began the season surrounded by high expectations before losing their season opener to the Arizona Cardinals. Los Angeles now faces a daunting part of its schedule, with five of its next seven games coming against playoff teams from a year ago.
