SANTA CLARA–The San Francisco 49ers (1-2) closed out the preseason with a loss to their downstate foe, Los Angeles Chargers (2-1) – after making an earlier major roster move – Friday Night in the Silicon Valley.

Brock Purdy marched his 49ers down the field on their first drive, only to have it come up empty after running back Jordan Mason fumbled into the endzone for a touchback for LA.

Drive #2 for San Francisco was a little better, as Purdy took it in for himself, scoring a five yard TD. 6-0 SF, after a missed extra point attempt. The 49ers used Purdy and two other starters for two drives.

The Chargers answered back with a 75-yard touchdown run for running back Joshua Kelley. 7-6, LA after a successful extra point, and the score stood up after the first 15 minutes. The Chargers were using second and third string players.

The second quarter didn’t have much scoring, except a 24-yard Field Goal by Chargers’ kicker Cameron Dicker. 10-6 LA, then and at the half’.

In the third, Niners’ QB Sam Darnold tossed a six-yard TD to Willie Snead IV.. After a missed two-point conversion, San Francisco led by two, 12-10.

LA’s QB, Max Duggan gave his team the lead right back with his 3-yard TD pass to Hunter Kampmoyer. 17-12, Chargers.

The Chargers followed that up with a 35-yard FG by Dicker. 20-12 LAC. That was also the score after three quarters.

The Chargers added another field goal in the fourth on the foot of Dustin Hopkins (27), and the Southern California team won by 11, 23-12.

The Niners open the 2023 Season in the Steel City to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers, September 10. The Chargers will host the Miami Dolphins on the same date.

The 49ers also dealt quarterback Trey Lance to the Dallas Cowboys. Lance came to the 49ers three years ago for three first round draft picks. Lance’s first pre season game against the Las Vegas Raiders he was sacked four times in three offensive possessions. In spite of that he came back in pre season game number two against the Denver Broncos on Aug 19th and had shown improvement. 49ers general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan already had their minds made up about dealing Lance to the Cowboys on Friday.

Purdy won the job after Lance and quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo got hurt and led the 49ers toward the post season. Sam Darnold will be the second string back up who won the job struggled to get the offense moving in the first three possessions and threw for a touchdown a six yarder to Sam Snead. Purdy was 5-9 for 73 yards against the Chargers.

Raiders Win Third In a Row Beating Los Angeles Chargers 27-20

By Barbara Mason

Sunday afternoon the Las Vegas Raiders (5-7) took on the Los Angeles Chargers (6-6). The Chargers are close to being in playoff conversation and this game is of major importance to Los Angeles. This week they won a thriller at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas edging the Chargers 27-20. The Raiders have been playing great beating the Seahawks last week 40-34 in a most dramatic fashion.

They beat the Broncos the week before that 22-16. The question of the hour is why it took so long for them to get going this season and what could have been had they started the season playing the way they are playing right now.

The Raiders would be challenged in this game by Los Angeles quarterback Justin Herbert who is having a nice season. The Raider defense would have to step up to contain not only this guy but also wide receiver Keenan Allen.

Las Vegas had a horrible start in the first quarter, in fact it was the thing nightmares are made of. The Raiders not only fumbled away the ball but at 5:07 Derek Carr threw a pick six, intercepted by the Chargers Bryce Callahan giving Los Angeles a 7-0 lead.

Los Angeles extended their lead in the second quarter when Cameron Dicker kicked a 37 yard field goal and the Chargers had a 10-0 lead. The Raiders Josh Jacobs, (hero of last week’s overtime win) rushed for 20 yards and a touchdown.

A Daniel Carlson 55 yard field goal tied up this game at ten with two minutes left in the half. The Chargers were able to take back the lead with 27 ticks left on the clock. Dicker kicked a 34 yard field goal for a Los Angeles advantage 13-10 at the half.

The third quarter was an all-Raider affair, in fact, it was the Carr to Adams show. At 14:28 Derek Carr connected with Devante Adams for 31 yards and a touchdown. This dangerous duo struck again at 10:53 when Carr found Adams open hitting him for 45 yards, the touchdown and a 24-13 lead.

The Raiders would open the fourth quarter with a Daniel Carlson field goal, this one for 25 yards and Las Vegas had the upper hand leading 27-13. The Chargers did score in the final quarter, a Herbert to Keenan Allen strike for 35 yards and the touchdown but that would be it for Los Angeles. The final was 27-20. The Raiders had won three games in a row.

Carr finished with 250 passing yards and two touchdowns with the one interception. Josh Jacobs had not cooled down one bit rushing for 144 yards and Devante Adams received for 177 yards. Aside from the rocky start in the first quarter the missteps did not deter Carr at all and he finished with an outstanding game.

The Las Vegas defense had an equally great game sacking Los Angeles quarterback Justin Herbert five times. The Raider defense pressured Herbert all afternoon. It was an aggressive effort for this defensive unit. Las Vegas really put the stops on wide receiver Allen as well. This loss really hurt the Chargers playoff hopes.

Next week the Raiders will take on the struggling Los Angeles Rams who lost today to the Seahawks. The Rams now have a shocking 3-9 record. This will be a Thursday night game with kickoff scheduled 5:15 PM on Prime Video.

#2 For Carr a line that got the Raiders their third straight win 27-20 against the Chargers, going 16-30, 250 yards, two touchdowns and an interception.

#3 Ever since that tough loss in Vegas against the Indianapolis Colts four weeks ago the Raiders seemed to have righted the ship and have been on a mission on both sides of the football.

#4 Adams caught eight passes for 177 yards for two touchdowns and running back Josh Jacobs carried 26 times for 144 yards, and got one touchdown.

#5 It’s off to the Southland and Thursday Night Football as the Raiders face the Los Angeles Rams (3-9) at So Fi Stadium can the Raiders pick up their fourth straight win?

Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Tony Renteria: Raiders playoff picture still bleak; Raiders take each game one week at a time

On the Raiders podcast with Tony Renteria:

#1 Tony, two weeks ago the Las Vegas Raiders were collapsing they were on a five game losing streak with them scheduled to start a two game road trip in Denver and Seattle all looked bleak until they had break out games resulting in overtime wins in Denver and Seattle.

#2 Tony, when you saw Raiders quarterback Derek Carr nearly broke down after the game after a home loss to the Indianapolis Colts was that a moment of reckoning for Carr and the Raiders that they mad and they weren’t going to take it anymore?

#3 Also owner Mark Davis had head coach Josh McDaniels back after the fifth straight loss and fans calling for his head. Was it a matter of Davis is not going to fire McDaniels and be on the hook for the rest of his salary or he still had faith in McDaniels to persevere through those tough times.

#4 Tony, the Raiders as now have no chance of making the post season at 4-7. The Raiders would have to win the rest of their games and finish 10-7 that’s six consecutive more games and wins to get some daylight.

#5 Tony, Raiders and Chargers as the Raiders return to Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas to face the Los Angeles Chargers (6-5). The Chargers just got by the Arizona Cardinals last Sunday 25-24. How do you see the outcome between these two teams.

Raiders Beat Seattle In Thriller 40-34

By Barbara Mason

Sunday afternoon the Las Vegas Raiders (3-7) traveled to Lumen Field taking on the Seattle Seahawks (6-4).

The Seahawks got up on the board early, at 14:32 in the opening quarter. Kenneth Walker 111 rushed for 12 yards and the touchdown. The extra point was good and Seattle had the early 7-0 lead. At 9:24 the Raiders tied up the game when Derek Carr connected with Ameer Abdullah for 18 yards. That extra point was good and the game was tied at 7-7. The Seahawks would take the lead into the second quarter. A James Myers 24 Yd Field Goal gave Seattle a 10-7 advantage.

The Seahawks extended their lead in the second quarter when Myers kicked his second field goal of the game, this one for 34 yards giving Seattle a 13-7 lead. The second quarter would prove to be a wild affair. The Raiders took the lead at 10:02 14-13. Derek Carr found Mack Hollins for 36 yards and the touchdown. Las Vegas struck again at 8:29 scoring yet another touchdown. Josh Jacobs got loose for a 30 yards romp downfield into the end zone giving the Raiders a 21-13 lead.

With 5:21 left in the second quarter Seattle’s Tyler Lockett caught a Geno Smith pass for 35 yards. The extra point was good and the Seahawks trailed 20-21. Las Vegas would extend their lead with ten seconds left on the clock in the half. Daniel Carlson made a 36 yard field goal giving the Raiders a 24-20 lead at the half.

The Seahawks scored a touchdown in the third quarter taking the lead 27-24. Kenneth Walker III scored his second touchdown of the game, this time a 12 yard rush for the score. The Raiders would tie up this game at 27 when Daniel Carlson made a 27 Yd Field goal.

The game was knotted at 27-27 going into the fourth quarter. Seattle would score late in the quarter taking a 34-27 lead. Geno Smith connected with Travis Homer for 18 yards and the score.

With 1:54 left in the game the Raiders struck pay dirt to tie up this game once again. Foster Moreau caught a five yard pass from Derek Carr for the touchdown and we had a 34-34 game. There was 1:02 left in regulation when Seattle went back to work. The Seahawks failed to move the ball and the game would go into overtime.

At 4:09 in overtime the Raiders kicker Carlson missed a 37 yard field goal. With 1:19 left Seattle was forced to punt and Las Vegas had one last chance to win this game with 0:12 left on the clock. The Raiders all saw a single play for 86 yards; Josh Jacobs tore up the field to score the winning touchdown. This was no doubt the craziest game with an insane finish that we saw this weekend. The final was 40-34.

It was a terrific game for the Raiders. Derek Carr threw for 293 total yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions. The Las Vegas receivers had a banner day. Jacobs and Davante Adams both had 74 receiving yards. Mack Hollins, Ameer Abdullah and Foster Moreau all had significant yardage with Hollins, Abdullah and Moreau cashing in with touchdowns. The man of the hour was Jacobs with 229 yards rushing and two touchdowns, which included the winning touchdown.
