It once again came down to the final minute, but the Oakland Raiders handled their business, and beat the San Diego Chargers 34-31 Sunday afternoon at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum.

With the win, the Silver and Black now own a 4-1 record – their best start since 2002 – with another AFC West matchup on the horizon next weekend.

Head Coach Jack Del Rio and his squad will welcome the Kansas City Chiefs to the Bay Area next Sunday, but before we look ahead to the Week 6 tilt, here are five takeaways from the Raiders win over the Chargers.

1. Once again, the Raiders kept it exciting

1. Chargers lost a lot of tough games

3 points here, lost by 1 to New Orleans, gave up a late TD to the Colts, lost in OT to the Chiefs after blowing a 17 point lead.

Congrats to Oakland for winning their close games, it's such a tough and competitive league.
