CARSON, Calif. (AP)-Derek Carr threw for 291 yards and a touchdown as the Oakland Raiders kept their playoff hopes alive with a 24-17 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers.
The Raiders had slim postseason chances coming into the day but losses by Pittsburgh and Tennessee have given them renewed hope. They need a win over Denver next week and the Ravens to beat the Steelers, the Texans to beat the Titans, the Colts to beat the Jaguars and the Browns to beat the Bengals to achieve only their second postseason bert since 2003.
Carr also ran for a score as Oakland took control of the game with touchdowns late in the second quarter and midway through the third.
