Chargers vs Raiders. Does either team try?

[SaguaroCat]

So looks like the Colts are going to blow their automatic win with Jaguars.
Going into the game, the Charges either needed to win or tie to make the playoffs. Just don't lose.
With the Colts loss, the Raiders either need to win or tie to make the playoffs. Just don't lose.

So, is their any way the two teams get together and decide to both tank?
Just kneel down for sixty minutes and both be happy.
Soccer teams have done it. Not that anyone could tell they were scoreless on purpose.

NFL is like WWE so I doubt Roger would let that happen. Interested what the league office has scripted for that game.

Soccer is about possession not scoring so I say no it’s not possible plus I think the chargers have to win to get in.

scratch that I just saw both could tie and get in.

Agree the NFL will not let it happen. They will threaten fines and whatever they can. The network would go insane. I’d love to see it well for about five minutes

I don't see how it could happen without being totally obvious. The two teams would literally have to be in contact with each other throughout the game.

Yes. Raiders get in with win or tie.
