That means that 8:20 p.m. ET on NFL Network and Fox from Allegiant Stadium, Derek Carr and the Raiders (7-6) face Justin Herbert and the Chargers (4-9) in a battle of two AFC West teams. Las Vegas is on the outside looking in of the AFC playoff picture, but there’s still a shot for the Raiders, making Thursday night a must-win game.

Las Vegas won the first meeting of these teams this season, 31-26, suggesting what could be a high-scoring, close game, although the Chargers have been playing even more than rough than usual in a few recent weeks. If Herbert can top 300 yards passing, it should at least be an entertaining watch for the neutrals.
Below is everything to know about the TV schedule for Thursday night’s game at Allegiant Stadium, plus a look at the rest of Week 15.
What time is the NFL game tonight?
Game : Los Angeles Chargers at Las Vegas Raiders Date : Thursday, Dec. 17 Kickoff time : 8:20 p. m. ET
All Thursday night games throughout the 2020 NFL season will start at 8:20 p.m. ET, though the TV viewing options (more on those below) expanded starting in Week 5.
When the Raiders won this matchup earlier in the season, it was behind a two-headed rushing attack of Josh Jacobs and Devontae Booker. Both players are healthy entering Week 15, despite Jacobs’ trolling of his fantasy owners in Week 14, so that could be the route to success Las Vegas takes again.
The Raiders, like most teams, had no answer for Keenan Allen in the first meeting. The star L.A. wideout had nine catches for 103 yards and a score, and he could be the key to Herbert’s success Thursday night.

NFL Week 15 schedule
It’s not a great week of prime-time action, although there’s a lot of it. The Bills play the Broncos on Saturday, followed by the Packers and Panthers. Then the Browns play the Giants on Sunday night before the Steelers and Bengals cap the week off on Monday.
The best game of the week is definitely Chiefs-Saints, which gets the Romo Game treatment in the late-afternoon window Sunday. That’s a potential Super Bowl preview between two of the top teams in the NFL.
Below is the complete schedule for Week 15 of the 2020 NFL season.
