Maybe the Los Angeles Chargers aren’t as bad as we thought earlier this season.

After starting off the season 0-4, the Chargers have now pulled off back-to-back wins over the Giants and, more surprisingly, the Oakland Raiders. And both victories were on the road. That says something.

Quarterback Philip Rivers always looks awkward throwing the ball, but that didn’t stop him from throwing for 268 yards and a touchdown.

And how about L.A.’s defense limiting the Raiders’ potent offense to just 16 points, setting the stage for a game-winning field goal by Chargers kicker Nick Novak for the 17-16 Los Angeles victory.
