Somewhat surprisingly, the Oakland Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers both are within the combine for a playoff spot within the AFC and each is coming off a a lot-needed victory to keep them in competition. It should be wanted provided that Los Angeles is holding opposing quarterbacks to the fifth-fewest passing yards in the NFL. Philip Rivers and Co. will want more of that towards a Raiders protection that ranks seventh stopping the run. Ekeler has been a drive in the passing recreation, main the crew with fifty five receptions (on 60 targets) for 530 yards and five scores this season.
Subsequent week, the Raiders get a home recreation with the up-and-down Chargers on Thursday Night time Football. He carried it a season-excessive 20 times in Sunday's win over Inexperienced Bay, but the Chargers big lead helped dictate the sport stream. Is Manchester United in Salford had a season-excessive 22 makes an attempt for 108 yards and a touchdown, and after a 23-contact recreation in Week 9, it is clear he has reclaimed the No. 1 spot for Los Angeles.
Towards the Bears, the Chargers gave up 253 yards by means of the air of their slender win but stifled the Packers to only 161 yards through the air last week at home. Overreaction to the Chargers win vs Inexperienced Bay and Oakland, aside from one quarter vs KC, has been phenomenal at dwelling.
Jason Campbell continued his Charger onslaught from his Washington Redskins days, as a result of the Raiders deployed two extra large running backs in Michael Bush and Darren McFadden that the Bolts couldn't comprise with each running for over 100 yards in separate video games towards the Bolts.
Oakland's flip: As they did in last week's win over Detroit, the Raiders turned to move-catching again Jalen Richard and Hunter Renfrow on the following hurry-up march, every player picking up two first downs as the Raiders neared the aim line, down four points.
The Raiders will attempt to pound the ball with Jacobs to maneuver the chains and batter the Chargers' line of defense. Los Angeles has been in a slew of shut games on the 12 months as seven of their 9 video games have been determined by seven points or less this season.
