Derek Carr and the Oakland Raiders pulled off a dramatic 26-24 win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday Night Football. It was a huge win for the Raiders, not only because it got them up over .500 and in the thick of the AFC playoff race, but also because it was the last-ever primetime […]

It was a close fight, but the Oakland Raiders managed to take down the Los Angeles Chargers in a game that was made unnecessarily hard for them. The win probably costed more than it should have as they lost an important defender in Karl Joseph. Paul Gutierrez reported an update about the safety’s condition after […]

The Oakland Raiders were able to secure yet another clutch win, beating the Los Angeles Chargers, 26-24, on a short week.

The Raiders have enjoyed a bit of a resurgence since their abysmal 2018 campaign. […]

A Los Angeles Chargers player getting injured. What’s new. Defensive end Melvin Ingram went down with what looked like a neck injury in the team’s Thursday night showdown with the rival Oakland Raiders. Melvin Ingram is down and in a good deal of pain. #Chargers — Daniel Popper (@danielrpopper) November 8, 2019 The Chargers are […]

Fullbacks may not be 100% back, but don’t tell that to Jon Gruden. On Thursday, Gruden’s Oakland Raiders showed what the fullback can do the NFL: Score touchdowns. That’s exactly what rookie fullback Alec Ingold did in the waning moments of the mid-week divisional matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers. Watch below. Ingold lines up […]

One interception isn’t enough for Oakland Raiders safety Erik Harris. A drive after reeling in his first pick of Thursday on Chargers’ Philip Rivers, Harris got another one. The difference between the two? Harris took it to the house on the second one. Watch below. Rivers forces a pass towards Harris’ direction, and ultimately, he […]

On the Los Angeles Chargers’ first drive on Thursday night, Philip Rivers got lucky twice: Two Oakland Raiders near-interceptions were barely avoided. However, on their third attempt at reeling in an interception, they did just that, courtesy of Erik Harris. The Raiders’ safety hauled in a Rivers pass intended for wide receiver Keenan Allen. Watch […]

The weeks just keep flying by in the NFL and we are heading into the 10th week of the season. There were some standout performances from a few wide receivers in fantasy football in Week 9, and they’re worth noting before we look at the Week 10 start ’em sit ’em receivers. Among the few, […]

The Los Angeles Chargers will kick off Week 10 on Thursday night against the Oakland Raiders. The AFC West rivals both stand at four wins and are trying to get back into the postseason race. The Chargers hold a 4-5 record and are coming off an impressive win over the 7-1 Green Bay Packers in […]

The AFC playoff picture is muddled, with a plethora of teams in the chase. The Oakland Raiders are one of those teams, sitting at 4-4. The Raiders have a huge game in Week 10 against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers, a must-win if Oakland wants to improve their shot at the playoffs. Oakland is already […]

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow does not look like a football player, and he knows it, but he also knows he has some talent. The rookie gets a kick out of the way others view his appearance, but he knows that once you get on the field, all of that goes out the window: […]

The Los Angeles Chargers did not start off 2019 on the hottest of notes. However, two straight wins have them on a much better track. Suddenly, the playoffs are back in the picture. That being said, at 4-5, Los Angeles can’t afford a loss right now. Another loss makes those playoff hopes even thinner. Especially […]

The Los Angeles Chargers are fresh off of a massive victory over the surging Green Bay Packers. With the Packers visiting the West Coast this past weekend, perhaps the Los Angeles lifestyle — albeit just a glimpse of it — may have proven to be too much for the Packers to handle as the Chargers […]

Josh Jacobs has been on a tear in his rookie season with the Oakland Raiders and there’s no sign of him slowing down anytime soon. Jacobs will continue his impressive stretch against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 10. Before training camps began, Jon Gruden was very adamant that Jacobs could easily be the NFL’s […]

The Oakland Raiders are 4-4 at the midway point of the season. Jon Gruden just needed a year to get his coaching legs back underneath him and the Raiders seem to be in a good position moving forward. Offensively, rookie Josh Jacobs has looked like the real deal. Darren Waller is having a breakout season […]

The Los Angeles Chargers have now won two straight games and hold a 4-5 record. While it still isn’t good, they are clearly starting to find a groove. The season is far from over and the Chargers proved last year that they can be one of the most dominant teams in the NFL. It also […]

We’ve reached Week 10 of the fantasy football season, and this probably isn’t the strongest week for waiver wire pickups. That’s not ideal since six teams are on bye, but if you must make some tweaks to your roster, these are the players that you should focus on. Here are the top 10 waiver wire […]

The Oakland Raiders could be without defensive end Arden Key for the remainder of the 2019 season. He suffered a broken foot injury during the team’s 31-24 win over the Detroit Lions, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. He is going to receive a second opinion from Dr. Robert Anderson to confirm the ‘initial […]

Just because the NFL now allows teams to challenge pass interference calls and non-calls does not mean it is going to make it easy for coaches to win them. Oakland Raiders head coach Jon Gruden has found that out the hard way thus far in 2019, as he made his fourth pass interference challenge of […]

The Oakland Raiders notably secured not one, not two, but three first-round picks as a result of the 2019 NFL Draft. While utilizing two of these three picks to select defensive players, the Raiders did manage to snag one offensive stand out as well in former Alabama Crimson Tide running back Josh Jacobs. Currently serving […]

The Oakland Raiders will welcome the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday Night Football in Week 10. The Raiders are coming off an impressive win on Sunday where they were able to defeat the Detroit Lions 31-24. With the win in Week 9, the Raiders are now 4-4 and sit at second place in the AFC […]

Remember all of the chatter last year about how the Oakland Raiders may have needed to move on from Derek Carr? Well, Carr has silenced that talk in 2019. Through eight games, Carr has thrown for 1,984 yards, 13 touchdowns and four interceptions while completing 71.2 percent of his passes and posting a passer rating […]

Oakland Raiders head coach Jon Gruden announced on Monday that the Raiders have released linebacker Brandon Marshall, per Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk. The move comes just days after the Raiders brought him back. Marshall was not active for Oakland’s win over the Detroit Lions on Sunday. The Raiders initially signed Marshall back in […]

The Oakland Raiders were able to add another solid win to their 2019 resume with a 31-24 win over the Detroit Lions this past Sunday. That moves Oakland to 4-4 on the season which is quite impressive for a team that is considered to be rebuilding as they will move to their new home in […]

The Oakland Raiders squared off with the Detroit Lions in Week 9 in a game in which the Raiders (3-4) were trying to get back to .500. The Lions (3-3-1) were trying to get over .500. In the end, Oakland was successful in its goal of getting back to .500, as the Raiders won the […]

The Oakland Raiders entered Week 9 with a 3-4 record. They needed a win against the 3-3-1 Detroit Lions to get their season headed back in the right direction. After scoring a touchdown to take the lead with 2:04 left in the game, Oakland needed their defense to make a stand. That’s exactly what they […]

Despite a red hot quarterback under center in Matthew Stafford, the Detroit Lions just can’t seem to get out of their own way this season. As a result of the team producing only three wins thus far into the 2019-20 regular season, Lions head coach Matt Patricia continues to answer questions regarding both the play […]

The Oakland Raiders have something in Josh Jacobs. On Sunday, the running back tied Hall of Famer Marcus Allen for most 100-yard rushing games by a Raiders rookie (three), according to Paul Gutierrez of ESPN. Jacobs was able to tie Allen’s record in only eight games. However, there is a crucial aspect to the statistic: […]

The Oakland Raiders have failed to get much production out of their cornerbacks. On Sunday, against the Detroit Lions, starter Daryl Worley sought to change that. Worley made one of the most ridiculous interceptions in recent memory on Matthew Stafford. In the end zone, against the big-bodied Kenny Golladay, Worley leaped for the ball. Unlike […]

It seems like it’s every week that Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay is making a highlight-reel play. Early in the second quarter of Detroit’s matchup with the Oakland Raiders, Matthew Stafford found Golladay ripping through the porous secondary. The third-year wide receiver took it to the house for a 59-yard touchdown reception. Stafford and […]

The Detroit Lions are trying to find their way in the Matt Patricia era. The pencil-in-ear coach is trying to carve out the Lions into winners as his mentor, Bill Belichick is doing with the New England Patriots. It hasn’t been easy in his first season and a half. He’s 9-13-1 during his duration as […]

The Oakland Raiders continue to tinker with their depth at running back. According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, the team tried out free agent tailback Spencer Ware on Friday along with defensive linemen Willie Henry and Caruen Reid. Ware, formerly of the Seattle Seahawks and Kansas City Chiefs, signed with the Indianapolis Colts […]

The Oakland Raiders and Josh Jacobs square off with the Detroit Lions in Week 9. While the Raiders are 3-4 and trying to get back to .500, the Lions are 3-3-1 and trying to go above .500 on the year. Both teams will need to have someone step up for them if they want to […]

The New England Patriots waived wide receiver Josh Gordon on Thursday, and now, teams will have until 4 p.m. ET on Friday to put in a claim for the former Pro Bowler. One club that could be interested is the Oakland Raiders, who are in desperate need of help at Gordon’s position. The Raiders were […]

When looking at the Week 9 schedule, there are quite a few standout games. The Detroit Lions vs. the Oakland Raiders is not necessarily one that jumps off of the slate, but it should. Both are up-and-coming teams fighting for respect in their respective conferences, and both are underrated. This one should be down to […]
