After the Kansas City Chiefs pummeled the Las Vegas Raiders  Dec. 12, the Raiders dropped to 6-7 and started playing playoff elimination games.

The Raiders went to Cleveland and defeated the Browns on a Daniel Carlson field goal.

The following week it was a close win over the Denver Broncos.

And on Sunday, the Raiders traveled to Indianapolis and defeated the Colts on another last-second Carlson field goal.

Remarkably, the Raiders have forged ahead despite off-field problems and are in a position to play what is essentially a play-in playoff game against the Las Vegas Chargers on the last game of the NFL regular season schedule. The Raiders-Chargers winner-makes-the-playoffs game has been flexed to Sunday Night Football on NBC-TV.
