Make in nine straight quarters now, 135 minutes of live action, that the Oakland Raiders have been held out of the end zone. Sunday, the Los Angeles Chargers entered a less-than capacity Oakland Coliseum and handed the Raiders their 8th loss of the season, 20-6.

Derek Carr did manage to go the whole game without an interception, but did lose a fumble during one of the four times he was sacked. Other than that, Carr had a decent game, completing 64% of his passes for 243 yards. Los Angeles’ Philip Rivers on the other hand was able to find the end zone twice, but also threw and interception.

The Chargers improve to 7-2 on the season after their 6th straight win, but still find themselves behind the 9-1 Kansas City Cheifs in the AFC West. The Raiders, meanwhile, are all the way down at the bottom with their 1-8 record, currently worst in the NFL.

Jon Gruden and the Raiders will prepare for their meeting with the Cardinals this week in Arizona.
