LAS VEGAS \u2014 Justin Herbert\u2019s brilliant rookie season keeps rolling along.<\/p>\n

Herbert scored on 1-yard plunge to give the Los Angeles Chargers a 30-27 overtime victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was pretty crazy,\u201d said Herbert, who set an NFL rookie record with his seventh 300-yard game<\/a> and has 27 passing scores on the year, tying Baker Mayfield (2018) for the most by a rookie in NFL history. \u201cI kind of waited to see the replay and guys didn\u2019t really know what had happ<\/a>ened. So I got up and started shaking hands and kind of saw the game was over.<\/p>\n

The Chargers (5-9) snapped a nine-game losing streak against their AFC West counterparts, and snapped a three-game skid against the Raiders. Las Vegas (7-7) lost quarterback Derek Carr to a left groin injury in the first quarter. It has lost four of five, all but killing its playoff chances.<\/p>\n

Moments after Daniel Carlson\u2019s 23-yard field goal on the Raiders\u2019 first possession put Las Vegas ahead 27-24, Herbert found wideout Jalen Guyton streaking by cornerback Keisean Nixon for a 53-yard reception to set up the winning score.<\/p>\n

Los Angeles improved to 1-2 in overtime games, while all four of its games against division foes have come down to the final play.<\/p>\n

Herbert, who targeted nine receivers and completed at least one pass with seven, was 22 for 32 with 314 yards and two touchdowns.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve seen a lot of growth over the past couple weeks,\u201d Chargers coach Anthony Lynn said. \u201cHe\u2019s doing it with young receivers on the field and spreading the ball around.\u201d<\/p>\n

With five receptions for 65 yards and a touchdown, Los Angeles\u2019 Hunter Henry now has a career-high 60 receptions on the year, third-highest among tight ends this season.<\/p>\n

The Chargers got revenge from the first meeting on Nov. 8, when Herbert\u2019s apparent TD pass to Donald Parham was overturned by replay to end the game.<\/p>\n

For the Raiders, the storyline quickly changed from must-win to stay alive in the playoff hunt, to how to win with backup Marcus Mariota seeing his first action as a Raider, while setting up a showdown of former University of Oregon quarterbacks.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a pretty crazy experience,\u201d Herbert said. \u201cI grew up watching Marcus. He was my favorite player. To see him on the field and play against him was really cool. It\u2019s everything I\u2019ve ever wanted.\u201d<\/p>\n

Just four days after firing defensive coordinator Paul Guenther, plus missing four starters on defense, and having their offensive coordinator Greg Olson sidelined after testing positive for COVID-19, the Raiders lost Carr when he came up lame on a third-down scramble near the goal line in the first quarter. Carr immedia<\/a>tely went to the locker room and did not return.<\/p>\n

Mariota was poised in his return from the first snap.<\/p>\n

In his first drive, he was 3 for 3 for 70 yards and a perfectly placed over-the-top pass to Darren Waller. Mariota also scrambled for 11 yards for a first down.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it comes down to it, I think it\u2019s part of your job to be prepared,\u201d Mariota said. \u201cJust try to give these guys a chance to win and unfortunately we came up a little short.\u201d<\/p>\n

The sixth-year pro finished 17 of 28 for 226 yards with one TD and one interception. He also rushed for 88 yards on nine carries, including a touchdown.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt just shows the kind of player and football character he has,\u201d Raiders coach Jon Gruden said of Mariota. \u201cYou lose Derek, and we change gears offensively. Marcus came in and did a great job. I\u2019m really proud of him. That just puts an exclamation point on why we signed him. Just wish we could have won the game for him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Los Angeles placekicker Michael Badgley missed two field goals near the end of the game \u2014 one from 47 yards and one from 51 \u2014 while the Raiders blew their chance when Mariota made his first bad decision of the game with an ill-advised pass that went off the hands of Zay Jones and into the hands Chris Harris Jr., who returned it 51 yards to give Badgley his second opportunity.<\/p>\n

Las Vegas lined up for a 65-yard, game-winning field goal at the end of regulation, but a bad snap was bobbled by AJ Cole, preventing Carlson from making an attempt.<\/p><\/div>\n
