With 38 seconds remaining and the Raiders facing 3rd and 4, Chargers coach Brandon Staley called a timeout, and Collinsworth who had previously said the Chargers would not call timeout was perplexed. Collinsworth was still kind of thinking about the tie as the Raiders called timeout. They still want to kick this field goal. There are a number of reasons it did make sense for the Raiders to play for the win. They knocked their division rival out of the playoffs.
Further, in beating the Chargers as opposed to tying them, the Raiders avoided the Chiefs, who defeated Las Vegas and in their two meetings this season. There are a ton of things to be excited and optimistic about if you are a Chargers fan.
Your team has a top quarterback on his rookie deal, a star left tackle entering his second season, a top-five pass rusher, and an All-Pro safety. You could certainly be worse off. That being said, there is still work to do. As the Chargers head into the offseason and begin to focus on the draft, they need to prioritize adding pieces around Herbert to field a competitive roster that is less top-heavy and has more depth at key positions. Slater earned an invitation to the Pro Bowl and has already developed into one of the best left tackles in the NFL.
While the left side of the Chargers line is solved, the right side is in dire need of improvement. The team signed Byan Bulaga to a big contract a few years back but he has been unable to stay healthy. Adding a talent like Trevor Penning who offers outstanding size, power, and plays with a physical attitude makes a ton of sense as the Bolts secure protection for Herbert for years to come. Joey Bosa is a terrific edge rusher, but the team is lacking talent behind him.
The Raiders have walked off on six occasions for victories this season. They have the fourth-worst point differential minus to make the postseason in NFL history.

The Steelers weren't as dominant defensively as they were while holding eight teams to 10 or fewer points during the season, but they also weren't as rusty as the other three home teams this weekend and now are The Chargers ended , following an unlikely five-game winning streak that came after they looked to be out of playoff contention at Roethlisberger, again looking like the can't-shake-me quarterback who led three road playoff wins in three weeks as the Steelers won the Super Bowl three years ago, converted three times on third down plays of 8 yards to go or longer ahead of his TD pass to Miller.
He went of for yards as the Steelers outgained the Chargers And for the supposed difficulty of beating a team three times in a season, as the Steelers will attempt to do against Baltimore, Tomlin said, "I personally don't subscribe to that hocus-pocus. For all of Roethlisberger's playmaking -- on one play, he even threw a block to help Holmes pick up extra yardage -- it was a healthy Parker who made the major difference in a Steelers offense that was the worst statistically of the 12 playoff teams.
Parker, who fought through knee and shoulder injuries during his first sub-1,yard season as a starter, had his most productive game since running for yards and three TDs against Houston in the Sept. Pound them down, once we get them down we can do whatever we want to do with them.
Relive some of the greatest moments in this rivalry. Hurts can come off as enigmatic, but those close to him say beneath the stoic demeanor is a coach's son obsessed with his chosen profession.
