Want to watch the NFL on CBS but don't have cable? CBS All Access has partnered with the NFL so you can stream local market games each Sunday to your computer, tablet or OTT device. It's a concerted effort to allow viewers to watch football wherever they're at, all without needing a cable or satellite subscription (or even a television) in your local market.
Obviously CBS All Access is about more than streaming football (although it doesn't have to be). For as low as $5.99 a month, the service allows subscribers to stream hundreds of hit shows. The real benefit, however, lies in being able to watch CBS live wherever you are. If you got roped into a wedding, you're stuck at a baby shower or you're just a good mom or dad and want to be at your kid's soccer game on Sunday, you can stream games directly to your tablet or laptop.

Raiders and Chargers on CBS All Access
The Chargers are, frankly, one of the last teams that anyone wants to face in the playoffs. With a healthy Keenan Allen that has proven to be nearly unstoppable and one of the best pass rushes in the league, the Chargers have won five of six games to be in a position where they're able to strike. They need help to get in, mind you. Even with a win, they'll also need a Titans' loss to secure the final seed. The fact that the AFC West -- one of the league's most disappointing divisions -- has a wild card contender is legitimately surprising, but the Chargers have really pulled it together as the season has worn on.
For the Raiders, it will be time to lick their wounds when this game is over and figure out what in the world went wrong in 2017. Derek Carr didn't look like himself all year, and an injured receiving corps didn't help, but Oakland will need to figure out how to help Khalil Mack on defense next season, too. There are a lot of issues with this team, but they'll have the chance to address them in the offseason.
