Charles Woodson could play wide receiver against Chargers

But the Raiders couldn’t break through for a Super Bowl title, losing the AFC title game at home to Baltimore in the 2000 season, falling to New England in the “Tuck Rule” game the next season and then losing the Super Bowl to Tampa Bay the following year.

This AFC West rivalry is between two teams at the bottom half of the division as the Raiders are third with a 6-8 record, while the Chargers are far behind with a 4-10 pip so far this season. That previous meeting also exposed the Chargers woeful running game, ranked last in the National Football League, as their leading rusher picked up just 35 yards.

As insane as it is to contemplate considering a long and storied history that’s produced some of the great moments in football history – remember the Holy Roller? – and memorable players and characters like Al Davis, Lance Alworth, Kenny Stabler, John Matuszak, Dan Fouts, Tommy Prothro, John Madden, Don Coryell and Cliff Branch and on and on and on, the San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders might soon dissipate into the Raiders and Chargers of Los Angeles. The Chargers come into Oakland as underdogs at 3.15, while the Raiders have strong odds at 1.38. Chargers LB Melvin Ingram has 6 1/2 sacks and two forced fumbles in the last six weeks….

However, given Murray’s workload and matchup with a Chargers defense giving up the fifth most points to running backs, Murray should be locked into starting lineups this Thursday.

“The makeup of this team has always been that we will never quit and we will fight to the end”, said Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers, who is 14-5 against Oakland as a starter. “It was really fun coming back here and playing”. While Mack is beginning what could turn into a Hall of Fame career, S Charles Woodson is closing out his. Yet this week, he announced he will depart the game as a player after this season.

“I’m pretty sure he’ll do something”, Amerson said.

San Diego has been out of the postseason picture for a while, having lost eight of their first 10 games. Play Rivers against a weak Oakland secondary.

Amari Cooper has been on a bit of a draught as of recently, but stepped up last week for 120 yards and two scores.

Woodson would turn 40 next October, so relying on him to play 16 games next season would be tough, even with his reputation for playing through injury.

Latavius Murray needs only 44 yards to reach 1,000 rushing for Oakland. Floyd is retiring at the end of the season and there is no guarantee Gates will be back next season with the Chargers. The Chargers have gone 4-2 against the spread the season, while the Raiders have gone 2-5 at home.

Chargers vs. Raiders 2015 live stream: Time, TV schedule… The Falcons will be facing a motivated Josh Norman, who drew three – and could have been more – personal foul penalties against New York’s Odell Beckham Jr. Youngsters Craig Mager and Greg Ducre might be asked to fill a role, especially if Williams isn’t able to last the entire game, assuming that he is able to go.
