Raiders DT Jerry Tillery Was Immediately Ejected for Dirty Late Hit on Justin Herbert

The Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers are battling in a classic AFC West showdown on Sunday, and it didn’t take long for this one to get chippy at Sofi Stadium.

Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert scrambled out of the pocket early in the second quarter and ran out of bounds. That’s when Raiders defensive tackle Jerry Tillery stepped in and laid Herbert out with a very late hit that led a scuffle on the Chargers’ sideline. The hit was so bad that Tillery was immediately ejected from the game.

Look at how dirty this hit was:
