That’s what we have got to try and keep away from and keep the mentality strong, keep trying to talk about the positives. Instead he has cautioned that relegation will loom should the board fail to sign a forward this month.

Before the game, Woodson took a stroll around the outer ring of the field and greeted some fans along the way.
Woodson is in the third season of his second stint in Oakland.
Then Woodson made his way off the field for the last time, flashed the “O” sign for Oakland as he headed into the tunnel, and he was gone.
The Raiders improved to 7-8 with their win while the Chargers fell to 4-11.
And on fourth-and-3, Philip Rivers’ pass went incomplete, and the Raiders had their victory for Woodson’s Oakland swan song. As detailed by Del Rio and his staff, two players will be forced to watch from the sidelines as Oakland plays its final home game of the year. One finally came up in overtime, which could’ve let Woodson win it in storybook fashion. Replacing Woodson’s leadership won’t be easy.
Some fans made their plea for Oakland at the team’s headquarters Thursday. Josh Lambo then nailed a 53-yard field goal but a rare defensive holding penalty was called against the Raiders which gave the Chargers a first down. “We took a huge step in the right direction today”, Carr said.
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.
At that point, the Raiders gave Woodson the well-rumored shot on offense. His workload should increase next season, and his rushing numbers should soar. The game is also airing as a live stream online.
Carr shook off a bad night to throw a dime, a 3-yard pass to Crabtree perfectly placed over the defender.

Despite almost two decades in the NFL, Woodson still earned one first Thursday night, getting the only carry of his career. Running back Latavius Murray ran for 79 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries while adding six catches for 62 yards. Cooper is the only rookie this season to top out at 1,000+ yards receiving. But upon review, the touchdown was overturned and the Chargers had to settle for a 48-yard field goal try from Lambo, which of course he missed to keep the lead at just 17-12. The Raiders closed the gap on their next possession with a 50-yard field goal by Sebastian Janikowski, which tied him with Jason Hanson for the NFL’s record for 50-plus yard field goals. The game against USC kicks off at 9:30pm central.
