Los Angeles Chargers at Oakland Raiders: 3 players to watch

The Oakland Raiders captured their fourth win of the season in a last-minute thriller against the Detroit Lions. With a short week ahead, the Raiders will host a division rival with the Los Angeles Chargers coming to town on Thursday Night football. Here’s three players to watch.

The Oakland Raiders find themselves with a 4-4 record through the halfway point of the season. With the toughest part of their schedule put behind them, their games in the coming weeks appear much more manageable.

However, facing the Chargers on Thursday Night football will be a tough assignment. This will be the Raiders first look at the Chargers this season, while Jon Gruden’s still looking for his first win against the Chargers since his return back to the sideline.

Many indications from Gruden’s Monday press conference deemed concerns on multiple injuries to the team’s defense. The Raiders defense has been the exposing piece thus far, but the Chargers offense has also experienced some up’s and down’s.

With both teams coming off wins against NFC North opponents in Week 9, here are three players to watch in the matchup on Thursday night.
