Thursday Night Football: The Chargers Soar into Las Vegas to Battle the Raiders The Los Angeles Chargers and Las Vegas Raiders are set for a thrilling Thursday Night Football matchup at Allegiant Stadium on December 14, 2023. This AFC West showdown promises high-octane offense, fierce competition, and a battle for divisional supremacy.
Renewed Rivalry: The Chargers and Raiders share a historic rivalry dating back to 1960. This rivalry has intensified in recent years as both teams have battled for playoff contention. With both teams currently sitting at 5-8, this matchup carries significant weight in the AFC West standings.

This win snapped a three-game losing streak and showcased the Raiders' defensive prowess. However, their offensive struggles continue, with quarterback Derek Carr facing pressure to deliver a consistent performance.
Key Matchups:
- Justin Herbert vs. Derek Carr: This matchup between two talented quarterbacks will be crucial to the outcome of the game. If Herbert is healthy and can play to his potential, the Chargers will have a significant advantage. However, if Carr can limit his mistakes and capitalize on the Chargers' defensive weaknesses, the Raiders could pull off a surprise victory.
- Chargers' Offensive Line vs. Raiders' Pass Rush: The Chargers' offensive line will need to protect Herbert (or Chase Daniel, if Herbert is out) from the Raiders' stout pass rush, led by Maxx Crosby and Chandler Jones. If the Chargers can provide adequate protection, their offense will have a chance to thrive.
- Raiders' Running Game vs. Chargers' Defense: The Raiders will need to establish their running game to take pressure off Carr and control the tempo of the game. Josh Jacobs has been a reliable running back for the Raiders this season, and he will need to have a strong performance if they want to win.
