The Oakland Raiders have one chance and one chance only to earn their first playoff berth since 2002. All that stands in their way is the San Diego Chargers, this Sunday, at home at the Oakland Coliseum.
Oh, and the Denver Broncos.
There are a handful of scenarios that can unfold this weekend, with the end result being either the Broncos or the Raiders coming out on top of the AFC West. If the Raiders win and the Broncos lose, Oakland will win the division and claim the No. 4 seed in the AFC. But alternate options would result in the Raiders snaring the wild card spot—depending on certain other teams losing or winning.
