The Las Vegas Raiders fell on Monday Night Football against the Los Angeles Chargers thanks in part to quarterback Geno Smith.

The unit is averaging 2.9 yards a carry with eight rushing first downs, both the second fewest in the league this season. Getting things going on the ground seems imperative for this contest.
