The Los Angeles Chargers will face the Las Vegas Raiders on 11th September 2022 to kickstart their new NFL season. This will be a battle of two great teams of the AFC West who have Super Bowl aspirations.
The Chargers improved massively in the offseason and are among the teams that have a great chance of winning the Super Bowl this year. Justin Herbert will also be extra motivated to finally take his team to the postseason this time around.
