He returned to the Raiders before the 2013 season. They may well be moving to L.A. if Oakland does not.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) – Philip Rivers’ last pass fell incomplete near Charles Woodson’s feet and the celebration began. Fans hold up signs for retiring Oakland Raiders cornerback Charles Woodson and for the Raiders to stay in Oakland during the first half of an NFL football game between the Raiders and the San Diego Chargers in Oakland, C…
Former El Salvador soccer player shot to death
According to official figures, more than 6000 people have been murdered nationwide since the start of the year. Murders in the small South American nation have rocketed this year – an increase of 55%.
“Though this is my last game in the Coliseum, just know I will never leave you”, Woodson told them, adding “Go Raiders!”
Manchester United players trying their best for van Gaal, says Carrick
Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick is adamant that the players are still behind beleaguered coach Louis van Gaal. United are now suffering their worst run of form since 1961, with their last victory coming against Watford on November 21.
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 on Christmas Eve as Woodson took the microphone to lead a “Raiders” chant.
With Derek Carr at 3,793 yards, the Raiders have a shot to have a 4,000-yard passer along with the 1,000-yard rusher and receiver for the first time in team history. He managed to accumulate 204 passing yards and throw a touchdown pass inside the 5-yard line.
The Chargers lost their seventh straight division game. Not only did the Oakland “D” win the game by keeping the Chargers out of the end zone in the OT, but they also scored a safety and evened the turnover battle at one apiece.
Trailing 17-10 at halftime, the Raiders managed to put the game into overtime at 20-20 with just a single first down on offense.
The Raiders bounced back with their only full touchdown drive of the game.
And it was about the Raiders fighting through every bit of that and defeating San Diego 23-20 in overtime at the Coliseum. The league is expected to vote on Los Angeles relocation during a January 12-13 owners meeting in Houston.
Then on the next play, Carr threw a successful two-point conversion pass to receiver SETH ROBERTS (2 catches for 37 yards) which gave Oakland a 20-17 lead with just under five minutes left in the game. “Our fans are second to none. But one more game before we reload”.
“It’s amusing”, Woodson said Thursday.
Thursday’s game was the last home contest for any of the three teams eyeing the L.A. market. Nothing is official yet, but the Raiders, Chargers and Rams are all expected to apply next month for the right to relocate to the Los Angeles area.
This one was tipped at the line of scrimmage by San Diego’s Kendall Reyes, who then got his hands on the ball for the interception.
Thursday’s pervading emotion remains unclear. Ken Stabler’s pass to Dave “The Ghost” Casper set up the game-tying field goal late in the fourth quarter on December 24, 1977. The Chargers were unable to respond with a score of their own, effectively ending the game.
This fan base had the Raiders ripped from them in 1982, got them back in 1995 and are in jeopardy of losing them again this year.
Most of this game was tiresome and uneventful, and especially uneventful for Woodson, who was in on no major plays – and had a few bad missed tackles on some others.

However, Autry’s safety and Mayowa’s fumble recovery provided points and exceptional field position for the offense in the second half. “They love this team”.
