There's certainly a lot to work on for the Las Vegas Raiders after Monday night.
There's also some things worthy of praise that showed up in the box score.
The Raiders suffered their first defeat of the season, 20-9 to the Los Angeles Chargers, after not reaching the end zone for the entirety of the game. However, the defense limited Los Angeles to three points in the second half. The Raiders won the time of possession battle by over three minutes and went 9-of-18 on third down conversions.
Here are a few more numbers that detail the highs and lows of the primetime contest.

Las Vegas native Jonah Laulu impressed in front of his home crowd, and was arguably the defensive player of the game for the Raiders.
The defensive tackle recorded two sacks, three tackles for loss and three quarterback hits against the Los Angeles Chargers. With his performance, he now leads the team in sacks with three. His 17.6 quarterback pressure percentage and 10 defensive stop percentage from Next Gen Stats were the highest of any Raiders defensive lineman.
"He works his ass off and he's getting better and better," Maxx Crosby said. "I love Jonah, he's a super talented guy and he's just going to keep getting better."

Kyu Blu Kelly, another player that claims Las Vegas as his hometown, also played well against the Chargers.
He was targeted four times in coverage, allowing only one reception for four yards. In his 33 coverage snaps, he allowed a 39.6 passer rating to Justin Herbert and a tight window percentage of 25, according to Next Gen Stats. With his pass deflection in the first quarter, he's now tied for the team-lead in that category with two.

After completing nine passes over 20 yards against the New England Patriots, things took a turn for Geno Smith in Week 2.
Smith didn't complete any of his 12 pass attempts over 10 yards downfield against the Chargers, and three of those attempts were picked off. He became the only quarterback since 2016 to attempt at least 10 downfield passes in a game without a completion.
"I'm not going to slow him down," Pete Carroll said in defense of his quarterback. "Taking the shots instinctively are there for him. But we will evaluate, and if there's a better option, let's not give them their opportunity to get the football from us."

The defensive line rotation continues to be an interesting development to follow.
There were six players that saw reps on the interior line, which included Laulu, Crosby, Adam Butler, Thomas Booker IV, Leki Fotu and Tyree Wilson. Additionally, a few of the defensive tackles in this rotation saw reps rushing off the edge.
"We're still evaluating the strengths and making sure that we're zeroing in on that. But yeah, we're going to continue to move our guys," Carroll said. "We like the uniqueness that the guys bring, and so we're trying to put them in those positions as much as possible and try to make it hard on your opponent so they're not certain what we're doing."
There were also a handful of snaps in which Crosby dropped back in coverage, while also lining up in multiple places on the defensive line for a second week.
"It's definitely different, but for me I trust the coaches," Crosby said. "I trust Coach Carroll and doing some different things. I feel like I can excel at any spot on the defense, and for me, I'm just trying to continue to evolve as a player. If that means dropping a little bit, we can do that."
