It took an extra overtime period, but the Oakland Raiders pulled out a 23-20 victory in dramatic fashion over the San Diego Chargers.
Emotions ran high for safety Charles Woodson’s farewell, but the energy on the field lacked through three and half quarters. Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers found success in throwing short passes on rub routes. The Raiders offense looked out of sync.
After allowing 17 points in the first half, the Raiders defense held the Chargers to three points in the second half.
Defensive lineman Denico Autry sacked Rivers in the end zone for a safety.
