Raiders stun Chargers, 35-27
The Oakland Raiders used some big plays on defense and special teams for a 35-27 win over the San Diego Chargers.
The Raiders began the game by blocking two punts, one of which resulted in a safety and the other recovered for a touchdown.
Later in the contest, with the Chargers driving for the game-winning score, the Raiders recovered a fumble and ran it back for a touchdown.
Oakland was able to win despite the fact that quarterback Bruce Gradkowski left the game with a shoulder injury.
Quarterback Jason Campbell, the team’s starter at the beginning of the season, came on in relief and played well.
