DEL RIO OUT
Raiders coach Jack Del Rio informs reporters following Oakland's
season finale against the Chargers that team owner Mark Davis informed Del Rio moments after the game that he had been fired. Del Rio, who had a 25-23 record in three seasons with the Raiders, signed a four-year extension in February.
RIVERS DISSECTS RAIDERS
Philip Rivers throws for 387 yards and a TD in leading the host Chargers (9-7) to a victory over the Raiders (6-10).
With a first-quarter pass completion to Keenan Allen for 11 yards, Rivers becomes the ninth player in NFL history to reach 50,000 for his career. His 16 wins and 41 TD passes are the most by a starting quarterback against the Raiders.
10,000 YARD MILESTONE
Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch reaches the 10,000-yard plateau with an 11-yard run during the fourth quarter. Beast Mode finishes with 101 rushing yards on 19 carries against the Chargers.
IMPLODING FINISH
After being in a three-way tie for first place in the AFC West entering Week 14, the Raiders lost their final four games by a combined 95-52 score.
THEY SAID IT
"He (Raiders owner Mark Davis) told me he loved me and appreciated all that I did, but felt like we weren't going in the right direction. He felt he needed a change, and I told him how much I appreciated the opportunity he gave me. I mean that. Very grateful. My childhood team. But it's a results business. I understand that."
Raiders coach Jack Del Rio
