What to know
The Chargers have locked up a playoff spot, but do still have something to play for in Week 18 – playoff seeding. If the Steelers lose Saturday, the Chargers have a chance to get the No. 5 seed if they beat the Raiders.
"We just take it one day at a time," Chargers Head Coach Jim Harbaugh said in his Monday press conference. "As Derwin [James] said, 11 wins sounds better than 10. Plan will be to win."
Meanwhile, the Raiders and Head Coach Antonio Pierce are looking to finish out the 2024 campaign by adding to their back-to-back wins.
"Finish," Pierce said of what he's preaching to the team over the last week of the regular season. "Same thing. Improvement, progress, resilient, pride. Same words."

- The Raiders lead the all-time regular season series against the Chargers, 68-59-2, dating back to 1960.
- Last time: Chargers won last meeting, 22-10, in Week 1 earlier this season.

Milestones to watch
- TE Brock Bowers needs nine receptions to break the NFL single-season record for most receptions by a tight end of any experience level, passing Zach Ertz, 116 in 2018.
- With two receptions, Bowers would become one of five tight ends of any experience level in NFL history to record 110 receptions in a single season. Bowers would also be the first player in Raiders history to accomplish the feat.
- WR Jakobi Meyers needs 96 receiving yards on Sunday to reach 1,000 for the first time in his career. If he does so, Meyers and Bowers would be the first Raiders duo to each have 1000 receiving yards since Amari Cooper (1,153) and Michael Crabtree (1,003) in 2016.
- LB Robert Spillane needs eight tackles to become one of two Raiders since 2000 to record 150+ tackles in a single season, joining Denzel Perryman (154 in 2021).
