The Raiders and Derek Carr take on Justin Herbert and the Chargers on "Thursday Night Football" to open Week 15.
Las Vegas (7-6) is looking at basically a must-win game. The Raiders are outside the AFC playoff picture looking in, but there's still a path to the playoffs. The Chargers (4-9) can only impact their own draft position based on Thursday's result, and Herbert could certainly use more help.

These teams played in Week 9 with the Raiders winning 31-26, but Herbert did throw for 326 yards and two scores that day. It's just one solid performance in a season full of them for Herbert, who's the favorite to win the NFL's Rookie of the Year award.
Below is everything you need to know about how to watch Thursday night's game in Nevada, plus a look at the complete Week 15 NFL schedule.

After NFL Network was the exclusive TV home of "Thursday Night Football" through four weeks, you're now able to find TNF games on both NFL Network and on Fox, a simulcast that began in Week 5.
You can also now watch "Thursday Night Football" streaming on Amazon Prime, as well, which comes at no additional charge to Prime members.
NFL Network is available via most cable providers in the United States. It also is available via satellite provider DirecTV (channels 212 and 1212) and IPTV providers Verizon FiOS (channels 88 and 588) and Google Fiber (channel 2019). As a network channel, Fox is even more readily accessible across the U.S.

All Thursday night games throughout the 2020 NFL season will start at 8:20 p.m. ET, now with more TV options thanks to the addition of the broadcast to Fox in Week 5.
This will be a local kickoff time of 5:20 p.m. in Las Vegas, which will also be the time that Chargers fans in California need to tune their TVs to this game. Unlike many prime-time games, this one has very little interest for east coast fans beyond the usual betting and fantasy football intrigue.

NFL Week 15 schedule
The NFL didn't exactly luck out in the prime-time department for Week 15. The league flexed the Cowboys out of Sunday Night Football in favor of the Browns vs. Giants. Monday night features the Bengals against the Steelers, but with no Joe Burrow, that likely won't be competitive.
There are also two Saturday games this week, the first featuring Josh Allen and the Bills against the Broncos, with Aaron Rodgers taking on the Panthers in the nightcap. But those will go up against college football conference championship games. Just be sure to have CBS on at 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday to watch a potential Super Bowl preview between the Chiefs and Saints.
