After just one game in Week 15, the losing team sacked both its general manager and coach due to the overwhelming outcome.
After falling to the AFC West rival Las Vegas Raiders 63-21 at Allegiant Stadium, it didn’t seem like the Los Angeles Chargers (5-9) had much of an option.
Thirty seconds into the fourth quarter, the Raiders squad that had been shut out the week before led 63-7. At the half, the score was 42-0. Jakobi Meyers caught one touchdown pass and completed another as Aidan O’Connell threw four touchdowns. Moreover, Las Vegas scored two touchdowns on defense.
The Chargers were without wide receiver Keenan Allen (heel) and starting quarterback Justin Herbert, who was placed on injured reserve earlier in the week following surgery for a fractured finger on his throwing hand.
While he attempts to become the first wide receiver in NFL history to record 2,000 yards receiving in a season, many people will be keeping a close eye on Tyreek Hill of the Miami Dolphins (ankle). The choice is probably going to be delayed until Sunday at 1 p.m. ET, when the Dolphins
Two AFC playoff contenders will be without their starting quarterbacks in other situations. Kenny Pickett (ankle) of the Pittsburgh Steelers and rookie sensation C.J. Stroud (concussion) of the Houston Texans will not play. For the Minnesota Vikings, there is conflicting news. Although wide receiver Justin Jefferson (chest) is listed as questionable, he insists he will play. Running back Alexander Mattison (ankle) is out.
