Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers (17) is sacked by Oakland Raiders defensive end Clelin Ferrell during the second half of an NFL football game in Oakland, Calif., Thursday, Nov. 7, 2019. Rivers threw interceptions on his first two drives to put the Chargers in an early hole and then again on his final pass to seal the Oakland Raiders' 26-24 victory over Los Angeles on Thursday night. Rivers made his NFL starting debut at the Coliseum and has the most wins (nine), yards passing (3,705) and TD passes (26) of any visiting quarterback in Oakland. Rivers and the Chargers settled down from there as he capped a 16-play drive with a 2-yard touchdown to Hunter Henry. Then Rivers' night ended when his last-gasp pass to Allen was intercepted by Karl Joseph, setting off a wild celebration at the Coliseum.

Joseph also had the game-sealing pass breakup Sunday against Detroit after Carr threw a TD pass to Renfrow in a 31-24 victory. The Chargers settled for a field goal after getting inside the 10 later in the quarter. Melvin Gordon had 22 carries for 108 yards and a TD that put the Chargers up 14-10 in the second quarter. He returned the first one 59 yards to the 31, setting up a field goal by Daniel Carlson. Harris then took the second one back 56 yards for a TD, giving the Raiders a 10-0 lead.

(AP Photo/Marcio Jose Sanchez, File)OAKLAND, CA From his first career start in 2006 to some riveting comebacks and crushing defeats, Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers has had plenty of memorable experiences playing against the Raiders at the Oakland Coliseum. So there will be a bit of nostalgia when Rivers plays his final scheduled game there Thursday night, when the Chargers (4-5) take on the Raiders (4-4) in a game crucial for both teams' playoff hopes. Rivers has been to the Coliseum so often (13 times), that only nine Raiders players have more games there than he does, a sign of Rivers' longevity and the roster overhaul in Oakland under coach Jon Gruden. But it's the atmosphere and the last dual-use stadium in the NFL that stands out most for Rivers.

He has 54 catches for 766 yards and six touchdowns, nearly surpassing his season total in 2018. He has 43 catches for 692 yards and six TDs through nine games this season. "He's playing exactly the way he's being asked to play and he's showing his dominance and I only think he's going to get better." Collins, a second-round pick by New England in 2013, is making the most of his second chance with the Patriots. He ranks eighth in the NFL in yards from scrimmage with 850 and trails only Christian McCaffrey with 11 TDs.

DETROIT – The Detroit Lions lost to the Oakland Raiders 31-24 Sunday. Matthew Stafford, Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones had a great game for the Lions while the defense struggled again. The Lions’ defense had just stopped the Raiders on 4th down. The coaching: How the Lions play is becoming increasingly frustrating. In the 3rd quarter Stafford missed Kenny Golladay on a 3rd and goal throw from the 5-yard line.

DETROIT The Detroit Lions lost to the Oakland Raiders in Los Angeles in Week 9 of the NFL season. Lets look at Oaklands key players, headlines going into the game and then talk about what the Lions need to do to win. He can make plays against a Lions defense that has allowed passers lots of time this season. Keys for a Lions winPlay balanced on defense: The Lions defense has done a good job of stopping the run the last two weeks, but theyve been letting up way too many yards through the air. The Raiders do struggle against the pass as theyre the leagues 30th ranked pass defense, so the Lions should be able to move the ball through the air Sunday.

And while rival soccer fans are often segregated and heavily policed, these NFL fans mingled, shared jokes and threw the ball to one another. There are five international NFL games this season, including the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Los Angeles Chargers in Mexico City in November. Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shahid Khan, who also owns the London-based soccer team Fulham, is a key driver pushing forward the idea of a London team. But, with the sizeable weekly commute that a London NFL team would face, plus questions about how strong support for the NFL actually is in the UK, the prospect of a London team has opinions spilt. "A London team would definitely be something that I would be a season ticket holder for."

(CNN) - Oakland Raiders linebacker Vontaze Burfict has been suspended without pay by the NFL for the rest of the season -- including any postseason games -- for repeated violations of unnecessary roughness rules. When he left the field, Burfict blew kisses to the Indianapolis crowd at Lucas Oil Stadium. It is the longest punishment for an on-field act in NFL history, according to NFL.com.

(CNN) - The Oakland Raiders have released wide receiver Antonio Brown, the team said Saturday. Following Friday's team practice, Raiders head coach Jon Gruden had said, "Antonio is back today ... We're really excited about that. But Brown on Saturday morning posted a message to the Raiders on his Instagram page asking the team to release him. His dramatic exit caps off a turbulent few days for the Raiders and Brown. The problem: His preferred helmet was one of the older models that had been banned by the NFL and the NFL Players Association beginning this season to improve player safety.

OSCEOLA, Florida (CNN) - Oakland Raiders wide receiver Antonio Brown's tumultuous offseason continues, but this time, he'll have to defend himself in court over a bill for $38,521.20. Brown is being sued by Stefano Tedeschi, aka the "Sports Chef," in Osceola County, Florida, court on charges of breach of contract and unjust enrichment. The lawsuit alleges that Brown wrongfully terminated the contract on January 27, 2018, and would not allow Tedeschi to retrieve his equipment and leftover food from the property. Brown, Tedeschi and his attorney did not respond to a request for comment. Brown recently lost a grievance against the NFL Players Association over the expiration of an old model of helmet, and he is recovering from frostbite on his feet.
