A lot can change over the course of an NFL season, and Thursday's contest between the Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers is a fantastic example of that.

Jimmy Garoppolo and Justin Herbert, the team's Week 1 starters, are out. In Week 15, the game will be decided by fourth-round rookie Aidan O'Connell and first-time NFL starter Easton Stick. The Raiders decided to select O'Connell over Garoppolo after the team's season was faltering. Stick replaces Herbert, who will miss the rest of the year with a finger injury.

It's a great opportunity for both players. O'Connell is fighting to prove he's worth developing. Stick could significantly extend his playing career if he replaces Herbert with solid numbers.

Follow along as Yahoo Sports provides the latest news, scores and injuries during Thursday Night Football in Week 15.
