Chargers vs. Raiders live score, updates, highlights from NFL ‘Sunday Night Football’ game

January 9, 2022 admin

The Raiders will host the Chargers in a fight to keep both teams’ playoff hopes alive.

The winning team will automatically advance to the 2022 NFL playoffs, with both teams needing at least a tie to secure a spot. A victory at home will extend the Raiders’ winning streak and position Las Vegas as the No. 7 seed. However, if the Chargers win they will secure a playoff spot and eliminate Las Vegas.

Since the Colts lost to the Jaguars 26-11 on Sunday afternoon, the Raiders and Chargers can both make the playoffs if the game ends in a tie. The result of the matchup will also affect the Steelers’ playoff chances since Pittsburgh earned a 16-13 win on the road against the Ravens.

During their last meeting in Week 4, the Chargers earned a 28-14 win against the Raiders at home. Herbert completed 25 of 38 passes for 222 yards with three touchdowns while Derek Carr completed 21 of 34 passes for 196 yards with two touchdowns and an interception.

Justin Herbert will lead the Chargers on the road at full strength, with no players on the COVID-19 reserve list. He connected with wide receiver Mike Williams for 63 yards and a touchdown during Los Angeles’ 34-13 win against the Broncos last week. Although the Raiders’ leading running back Josh Jacobs and tight end Darren Waller were listed as questionable due to injuries earlier in the week, both players are expected to start in the must-win game.
