The Los Angeles Chargers make a short trip on a short week up to play the Oakland Raiders on Thursday Night Football (5:20 P.M. Pacific on Fox/NFL Network).
Both teams are coming off emotional, possibly season-saving home victories. Both have newfound hope in a wide-open AFC playoff race. And it’s the last time these two teams will play one another in Oakland. One of the NFL’s quietly great rivalries will take a new form next season.
With so much on the line — including nearly eternal bragging rights — Thursday’s game sets up to be a classic.
