          COSTA MESA, Calif. -- The Silver and Black should be well represented Sunday when the Los Angeles Chargers host the Oakland Raiders at the StubHub Center in the final game of the regular season (4:25 p.m. ET, CBS).

          It has been more than two decades since the Raiders regularly played in Los Angeles, but they still have plenty of fans in L.A. -- and they're expected to show up in droves on Sunday.

          Just ask Raiders edge rusher Bruce Irvin.

          During their first season in Los Angeles, the Chargers have had trouble with opposing fans taking over the stadium. That will be a situation the Chargers have to deal with again on Sunday.

          "That's going to be an electric atmosphere," Chargers safety Jahleel Addae said. "We don't want to make it too big. I felt like that's what kind of did last week [against the Kansas City Chiefs]. We put too much pressure on ourselves. We want to just make it like another game. Watch film, get better and let the chips fall where they may.

          "It's going to be a good crowd. It's going to be electrifying and we're going to be ready to ball."

          Chargers running back Melvin Gordon remembers San Diego's Qualcomm Stadium being filled with Raiders fans last season, and though the Raiders (6-9) are out of the postseason chase, he anticipates a similar environment at the StubHub Center.

          "I'm expecting it to be blacked out, regardless of the record that they have and what ours is," Gordon said. "I just keep having flashbacks to last year at Qualcomm when there were a million, a zillion Raiders fans there.

          "So I'm not expecting it to be the same. Hopefully it's different. But I'm expecting there to be a lot of Raiders fans there."

          At 8-7, the Chargers need to defeat the Raiders -- along with a loss or tie by the Tennessee Titans against the Jacksonville Jaguars and a Baltimore Ravens win or tie to the Cincinnati Bengals -- in order to reach the playoffs for the first time since 2013.

          The Chargers also get into the postseason with a win, a Tennessee loss or tie to Jacksonville and a Buffalo Bills tie or loss to the Miami Dolphins, or a tie to the Raiders, a Tennessee loss and a Buffalo loss or tie.

          Jacksonville coach Doug Marrone said this week that his team will not rest starters and will play to win against the Titans, even though the Jaguars have the AFC's No. 3 seed locked up and can't improve their position.

          All of these games will be going on at the same time, but Chargers coach Anthony Lynn said the team might not show updates on the scoreboard so his players do not get distracted.

          "We've got to win, but we know they're not going to let us win," Chargers cornerback Casey Hayward said about Sunday's game against the Raiders. "They're going to give their best. It's a division opponent, so they're going to say, 'Let's try and keep them out of the playoffs.' So we've got to come focused and ready to play."
