Somehow, someway, the Oakland Raiders are still alive in the AFC Wild Card hunt. After the Steelers, Browns, and Titans all lost in Week 16, the Raiders took care of business by defeating the Chargers in Los Angeles.
The Raiders entered the game without several key starters on offense, but they were able to put up 24 points against the Chargers. Derek Carr was fantastic in this game, completing 26 of 30 passes for 291 yards.
Oakland will finish the 2019 season traveling to Denver to take on the Broncos. For the Raiders to make the playoffs, Oakland will need to win and will need losses from Pittsburgh, Tennesee, Bengals, and Jaguars. While it seems unlikely, it certainly isn’t impossible.
