SAN DIEGO -- The Oakland Raiders are back to playing the role of dangerous villain.
That's good for the NFL, which needs dangerous villains.
That's bad for the Chargers, who preferred the dysfunctional Raiders.
Sunday on a gray day in San Diego, the Raiders trampled the Chargers 28-13 in front of largely pro-Raiders crowd, and looked about as hard-hitting as any NFL team can.
"The Raiders are back," said fullback Marcel Reece. "That's it. We're back to playing Raider football."
The Raiders ran for 251 yards. They sacked Philip Rivers four times and hurried him seven other times. They bullied the Chargers throughout the game, then walked off with their first victory in San Diego since 2002.
"If this team shows up that showed up today, we're capable of beating anybody," said Raiders defensive tackle Richard Seymour.
The Raiders (6-6) were desperate to win after dropping the two previous games by a combined score of 68-20 to the Steelers and Dolphins.
