OAKLAND, Calif. -- It took more than four games and almost 10 years, but Jon Gruden has his first victory since his return to the NFL as Oakland Raiders coach.
The Raiders' 45-42 overtime win over the Cleveland Browns at the Oakland Coliseum on Sunday was Gruden's first win since Nov. 30, 2008, when he was with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
It is Gruden's first win with the Raiders since Oakland beat the New York Jets in a playoff game on Jan. 12, 2002.
As such, Gruden has tied Vince Lombardi in career coaching wins with 96 victories.
