Raiders edge Chargers in OT

I didn’t want the guys to get a win for me. “The Chargers” secondary was so depleted by injuries that Inman had to help out in the defensive backfield during overtime Thursday.

It’s going to be an emotional night between the Oakland Raiders and the San Diego Chargers in Oakland.

Woodson’s retirement may coincide with the end of the Raiders in Oakland as the franchise could relocate to Los Angeles next season – which is also where the Chargers are likely to be playing.

It was not just about Charles Woodson on Thursday; it was about everything around him, and he tied it all together. Raiders quarterback Derek Carr completed only 23 of 38 passes for 204 yards, was sacked three times and had a passer rating of 72.7.

Still, San Diego’s defense held firm and forced an Oakland punt.

“We’re human, so it’s hard not to think about it”, Raiders fullback Marcel Reece said. And then it did.

Carr shook off a bad night to throw a dime, a 3-yard pass to Crabtree perfectly placed over the defender.

That strategy failed, however, when a Philip Rivers to Ladarius Green pass that appeared to be a TD was ruled incomplete on review, and the Chargers failed to score at all. Check below for the Chargers Raiders game TV details and how to watch Raiders vs Chargers live free streaming online as well.

It was far different here than it had been in San Diego four days earlier, when fans seemed resigned to saying goodbye to the Chargers, majority pledging to never care again if they left for Los Angeles.

-CB Jason Verrett (hamstring) was injured in the second quarter Thursday night against Oakland and did not return to the game.

Sebastian Janikowski booted a 50-yard field goal in the second quarter, his 52nd from 50-or-more-yards in his career.

He made it 40 yards before being dragged down at the 3-yard line, setting up a go-ahead touchdown pass to Crabtree.

The move back also wasn’t very successful off the field as the city of Oakland and Alameda County were left holding the bag after personal seat licenses failed to cover the cost of the $220 million renovation that added more than 10,000 seats and luxury boxes in what was called Mount Davis. By this time next year, the Raiders might be back in Los Angeles, where they spent 13 years from 1982-1994.

The Raiders had trimmed the deficit to five in the third quarter thanks to the defense as well.

In Woodson’s career, he has picked off 65 passes and returned 11 of those for a touchdown.

San Diego’s Kendall Reyes got his hands up to bat down a pass at the line and then corralled the ball out of the air.

The Raiders bounced back with their only full touchdown drive of the game.

The first came when San Diego’s Josh Lambo kicked an apparent 53-yard field goal. But after they failed to advance, a television replay appeal wiping out a touchdown catch, Lambo missed a 48-yard field goal try and San Diego lost a chance to boost the lead.
