Easton Stick - the first quarterback for the Los Angeles Chargers
Easton Stick, set to make his inaugural NFL start, will be in the limelight in the upcoming game. Despite being 27 years old, older than most rookie quarterbacks, he carries higher expectations. We will see if his experience sets him apart from his younger counterparts in his first appearance as the team’s starting quarterback. Easton Stick played college football at North Dakota State University, where he had an outstanding score of 49-3 as a starter, making him the record holder for the most wins by a starting quarterback in NCAA Division I FCS history.
The Chargers selected him in the 5th Round as Pick number 166 at the 2019 NFL Draft.
The Chargers are coming off a disappointing 24-7 loss to the Broncos, which saw them lose their star quarterback Justin Herbert. Easton Stick, with limited prior NFL experience, faces the challenge of leading the team in the upcoming game.
On the defensive end, the Chargers rank third in the league in preventing third-down conversions. However, they have faced difficulties in their last five games, securing only one win against the New England Patriots.

Las Vegas Raiders
The Las Vegas Raiders have a 5-8 record, with a 4-3 record at home. However, they have struggled in their last five games, losing three. In their recent game against the Minnesota Vikings, they suffered a lackluster 3-0 defeat due to offensive struggles. Questions have been raised about quarterback Aiden O’Connell’s performance, and the potential return of Jimmy Garoppolo might be a pivotal decision. The Raiders have also been struggling with their red-zone efficiency, ranking 28th in the league.
The team is also dealing with some injury concerns. Key players like Kolton Miller, Maxx Crosby, Josh Jacobs, Amik Robertson, and Curtis Bolton are all questionable for their upcoming matchup.
