Palmer slicing up Chargers
By Bill Williamson
SAN DIEGO – The Raiders are running all over the Chargers, 17-3 at the half:
Oakland quarterback Carson Palmer looks very good. He has connected on several big pass plays and completed eight of 10 passes for 169 yards. He has been very accurate — an improvement after throwing six interceptions in his first 56 passes as a Raider.
Palmer looks to have built a nice relationship building with Oakland rookie receiver Denarius Moore, who has three catches for 86 yards.
Oakland – as it has in the past couple of meetings with San Diego – is control the line of scrimmage both offensively and defensively. San Diego quarterback Philip Rivers has been ineffective, but he isn’t getting much of a chance — he has been sacked three times.
UPDATE: The Chargers announced linebacker Takeo Spikes is out with a concussion.
