Sooner or later, the Oakland Raiders will put an end to their long losing streak, but as of now it stands at 16 games.
Philip Rivers found Malcom Floyd on the third play from scrimmage, as the San Diego Chargers defeated the Raiders 13-6 at Qualcomm Stadium.
Rivers touchdown pass to Floyd came just two plays after the Raiders fumbled on their initial play from scrimmage to begin the game.
On the afternoon, Rivers went 22-for-34 for 193 yards and that one touchdown to Floyd that proved to be the winning margin.
Rookie Derek Carr went 16-for-34 for 172 yards, as the Raiders fall to 0-10 on the season and have lost their last 16 games in a row, with their last win coming on November 17, 2013 against the Houston Texans at Reliant Stadium.
Sebastian Janikowski got the Raiders within seven points with four minutes to play, but after the Raiders held the Chargers to a punt, they got the ball back with no timeouts.
Unfortunately, Carr’s last second desperation pass to James Jones fell short of the end zone and the Silver and Black limped to the locker with yet another loss under their belts.
The Raiders were only able to cross into Chargers twice, as they also got into Chargers territory on their third series and settled for a Janikowski 42-yard field goal.
Rookie Khalil Mack picked up his first sack of his NFL career.
