San Diego has been the home team in the AFC title game only once before, with the Dan Fouts-led Chargers losing to the Oakland Raiders after the 1980 season. ``I think we realize what's at stake here,'' said inside linebacker Donnie Edwards, who grew up watching those Air Coryell teams. ``If we can get this big win this weekend at home, we'll go 8-0 in the season, which hasn't be |

ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) -The boxes are spread out across the locker room and the packing is well under way. The season has been over for quite a while for the Oakland Raiders and for some the focus is already turning to next season. Barry Sims, who began the season as the starting left guard before losing the job after an injury, and backup quarterback Marques Tuiasosopo said Thursday that they'd like to be on a team next year that would give them the chance to compete for a starting job.

The Jets (9-6) control their playoff chances. A win at home Sunday against the Oakland Raiders (2-13) will seal a postseason berth in what has already been a successful season. ``With the guys in our locker room and the veterans that we have, we're not surprised at where we are because of our hard work that we've put in, because of our prep |

| East Rutherford, NJ (MySportsbook) - New York Jets wide receiver Laveranues Coles is listed as questionable on the team's injury report for Sunday's play-in game against the Oakland Raiders. If the Jets win, they clinch a playoff berth. Coles missed a portion of practice on Wednesday with a head injury. He sustained the injury against the Dolphins in the second quarter when Zach Thomas leveled the wide receiver. He had two receptions for nine yards in the 13-10 win. Coles has 87 catches on the season for 1, |

ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) -Oakland Raiders coach Art Shell isn't worried about his future despite reports he will be fired in the offseason after the team's dismal year on the field. ``I am the head coach of the Raiders until I am otherwise informed,'' Shell said Tuesday. ``That's the way I see it.'' Heading into the season finale at the New York Jets on Sunday, the Raiders are just 2-13 in Shell's first season back as the team's head coach.

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (AP) -Eric Mangini has banned his New York Jets from discussing their postseason chances since training camp. One more win against the lowly Oakland Raiders, and the playoffs will be all they're talking about. A shocking turn of events, considering where this team was a year ago. ``This is definitely an exciting time of year for us, but our approach will be consistent just like it was with Miami,'' Mangini said Tuesday, hours after a 13-10 win over the Dolphins. ``We need to take care of |

New York can earn an AFC wild card berth with a victory at home over the 2-13 Oakland Raiders Sunday. "We've got to come and play a good game and focus on that game, and focus on winning that game," Jets coach Eric Mangini said. "I believe now things are fully in our control."
