Oakland Raiders vs. San Diego Chargers (Thursday Night Football)
The Miami Dolphins played the San Diego Chargers in what is likely the final game at Qualcomm Stadium before the Chargers relocate to Los Angeles.

SAN DIEGO-From all indications it appears both Charger fans and players recognize the 30-14 victory over the Miami Dolphins maybe perhaps the swan song to the city of San Diego. The franchise has played 55 seasons in the city but ownership has been involved in a longstanding battle with city officials over the financing for a new stadium to keep the team in San Diego.
Rookie Melvin Gordon ended his season early when the Chargers placed him on the injured reserve with cartilage damage in his knee.
“There was a group of tailgaters right when you pull up at the front gate that I always honk my horn at and they always holler at me”, Rivers said. For that reason, bank on Oakland to beat San Diego and the spread in another convincing performance on Christmas Eve. The Dolphins have been the child in the Miami family that will not get it together no matter how much you love them.
Campbell said the one positive from Sunday’s loss is several young players earned significant playing time.
Floyd was honored in the fourth quarter by a video tribute on the scoreboard.
“It was a special day, if it is the last one”, said Rivers, who threw three touchdown passes to Woodhead and watched as the mighty mite ran for another score.

It was the first in an 18-game winning streak by the Raiders against the Chargers that carries through the first meeting of the 1977 season.
Lost in the emotion was that the Chargers played better than they did in failing to score a touchdown in three of their last four games, including in each of their last two home games.
That’s probably a taste he and the rest of the organization have had in their mouths for much of the season. “It will be interesting, but those guys will fight, and if that’s what we’ve got, we will make a go of it”.
Woodhead scored the first rushing touchdown for San Diego since Week 1, when he scored two against the Detroit Lions. Two years later, with the Chargers having moved to San Diego, Gillman said, “There isn’t a doubt in Al Davis’ mind that he is the smartest man in the game”.
Grimes was credited with two passes defenses and had one of the Dolphins’ two interceptions. The 5 foot 8 inch running back had 6 catches for 50 yards and 3 touchdowns receiving today. Lamar Miller was benched in the second half for rookie Ajayi after Miller had 9 carries for a disappointing 12 yards.
