Raiders rise to occasion, win possible finale in Oakland
Endurance and competition and triumph.

Game on the line. Murray got 24 yards down the field as time in the second quarter ran out.
Sebastian Janikowski kicked a 31-yard field goal in overtime, and the Raiders (7-8) forced a fourth-down incompletion to send the crowd home happy as Woodson took the microphone to lead a “Raiders” chant.
“We just had to keep working”, Autry said. “But, you know what, I appreciate the coaching staff for working a play in this week, and actually giving it a shot”. On Monday, he announced that he would retire after this season.
And that was the fact that could not be ignored.
Oakland Raiders free safety Charles Woodson (24) carries the ball against San Diego Chargers inside linebacker Manti Te’o (50).
For over an hour, the Belmont resident spilled drops of his drink onto the O.Co Coliseum parking lot as a vigil to his hometown, which might have just hosted its last National Football League game. San Diego was coming off a win over the Dolphins in their last appearance, while Oakland fell to the Packers in Week 15. The 39-year-old defender is tied for fifth most interceptions since 1940 with 55 – every player with more INT is in the Hall of Fame: Paul Krause, Emlen Tunnell, Rod Woodson, Night Train Lane.
“I guess it had to end like that right?”
“I guess it had to end like that, right?”
I’ll do my part in sharing my perspective on the matter for each position group; from there, you can decide what to do with that info.
“But that’s the way it goes sometimes”. We’ve got to use everyone we’ve got. Oakland improves to 7-8.
The Raiders’ 23-20 overtime win over the Chargers on Thursday night was what’s become a typical Thursday night game. Starting the farewell to Woodson in style and ending 2015 with a home win.
But it also showed that any team with Woodson is worth watching, at the end, and any team that has his support is probably worth monitoring even when he’s gone.
Charles Woodson’s son thinks he’s the NFL’s best player.
Raiders DE Benson Mayowa started in place of rookie Mario Edwards Jr. He caught five passes for 38 yards Thursday and has 37 catches for 207 yards overall. In the Chargers’ past four games, they allowed an average of 16.0 points.
“It’s amusing”, Woodson said Thursday. The Raiders will head to KC for the Chiefs (1:00 PM ET on CBS), while the Chargers will go to Denver to play the Broncos (4:25 PM ET on CBS).
Did he want to throw for a touchdown if he could? Woodson said. “That wouldn’t have been a good deal”.
It took seven plays, but the Chargers (4-11) got in the end zone on Donald Brown’s 1-yard plunge.
On first-and-goal at the San Diego Chargers’ 10-yard line late in the opening possession of overtime, the Raiders called a reverse for the veteran safety, who couldn’t get the ball back to the line of scrimmage. The St. Louis Rams are seeking to relocate in the Los Angeles area and build a stadium in Inglewood.
It was a weird and worthy ending – worthy of the Raiders and worthy of Woodson. “We had been running games the whole game and one finally came through. I just so happened to run into him”. He gave a heartfelt pregame speech and was celebrated by fans who came out to bid him farewell.

“So I share this night with my teammates, with my brothers, you understand?” This is bigger than me. And it’s about the fight. It always has been bigger than me.
