It’s been an incredible day for the tandem of Khalil Mack and Joey Bosa.
In the first half, Mack and Bosa had sacks of Gardner Minshew on back-to-back plays to force a Raiders punt. Minshew then fumbled a ball on an unforced error inside two minutes to go in the first half, which was recovered by Mack and returned 22 yards inside the Raiders’ 15-yard line.
In the third quarter, it was Bosa’s turn to make an impact on the turnover battle. Minshew handed the ball to running back Zamir White on a 1st and 14 play. White burst through the left side of the line and gained ten yards, but Bosa made a tackle pursuing from the backside. He punched at the ball, knocking it free and nearly recovering it himself before the ball careened to the turf.
Ja’Sir Taylor, who was flagged for unnecessary roughness earlier on the drive, was the man on the bottom of the pile for the Chargers, turning the Raiders over for the second time of the game.
Los Angeles was not able to convert the opportunity into points, however, maintaining a 9-7 lead over the Raiders.
