Raiders edge Chargers in OT
He was ultimately tackled for an anti-climatic 3-yard loss on a reverse designed for him to throw the game-winning touchdown.Woodson addressed the crowd after the game, telling Raider Nation: “You welcomed me back with open arms as if I never left”.

Woodson played eight seasons in Oakland before moving to Green Bay for the next seven. If you were soaking in the athletic competition as a supplement for being with family, then you were rightly treated to a great exhibition.
Wherever the Raiders play next season and into the future, in Oakland or Carson, they will never have another player or person like Charles Woodson because there is no such thing.
Charles Woodson didn’t attempt to dress up the game that unfolded in Oakland – “It wasn’t pretty”, Woodson said – to express how much the night meant to him. “Because it’s bigger than me”.
Both teams swapped field goals in the second quarter, with Sebastian Janikowski’s being of the all time National Football League record tying variety from 52 yards out. Rivers went 4-for-4 for 35 yards on the drive.

Carr finished 23-of-38 for 204 yards and a TD.
In the end, the Chargers were limited to 19 first downs and 343 yards of total offense (72 rushing yards and 271 passing yards).
Rivers completed 31 of 49 passes for 277 yards and one touchdown.
Murray is the first Raiders back since Darren McFadden in 2010 to top the 1,000-yard mark. Chargers put three receivers to the right and Inman simply ran a slant underneath the two inside routes and waltzed into the end zone.
The Chargers dropped to 4-11 on the year, while the Raiders improved to 7-8. And third of all, this was the last game in that stadium for first or second ballot Hall of Fame cornerback CHARLES WOODSON, who will be retiring officially after next week’s season finale versus the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium.
The Chargers tied it on Josh Lambo’s 47-yard field goal with 55 seconds to play.
On third-and-8 from the San Diego 43, Carr completed a 33-yard pass to wide receiver Seth Roberts, giving Oakland a first down and setting up Janikowski’s chip shot. But on the play, the Raiders’ Khalil Mack was called for defensive holding, and San Diego coach Mike McCoy took points off the board to accept the penalty and take the automatic first down at the 30.
Crabtree, who led the Raiders with 76 catches, had just three catches for 16 yards Thursday, but did score a go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter.
IF THE NFL is looking for a late Christmas present in 2015, it could well be a redefinition of its much maligned catch rule which, once more, had a direct impact on the result of a game.
After the Chargers defense forced a punt on the ensuing possession, Rivers and the Chargers offense went to work.

“When we got the three points, coach (Jack) Del Rio came up to me and said, ‘Hey, the defense will take care of it. That was a game winning drive, ‘” Carr said.
