The Las Vegas Raiders defense will face a challenge against the Los Angeles Chargers offense in Week 13. The Chargers appear primed to get rookie ball-carrier Omarion Hampton back from injury, as he's practiced this week while eligible to come off IR. Stopping Justin Herbert is always a challenge as well.
We've identified three potential X-factors on the Raiders defense versus the Chargers in Week 13.
Charles Snowden made an impact last week, registering an interception of Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders that he returned for 18 yards. Snowden has received some opportunities across the defensive line to make an impact. He'll be tasked with continuing to maximize every rep he gets.
The Chargers are dealing with some serious injuries across the offensive line. Left tackle Joe Alt suffered a season-ending injury, and right tackle has been a revolving door of injured and/or underperforming players. Maxx Crosby should be a constant thorn in Herbert's backside.
Jim Harbaugh is a hard-nosed coach who believes in establishing the run and winning the line of scrimmage. Jeremy Chinn is the Raiders' most physical safety and sure-handed tackler. He'll be tasked with creeping downhill and keeping the Chargers offense honest.
