Raiders 28, Chargers 13
Darren McFadden and Michael Bush each scored a touchdown and combined for 192 of Oakland’s 251 rushing yards as the Raiders stunned the host San Diego Chargers 28-13 on Sunday.
The Chargers (6-6) had their NFL record 18-game winning streak in December snapped and lost for the first time in the regular season after Halloween since 2008.
The Raiders (6-6) ended their NFL record streak of seven straight seasons with 11 or more losses and halted a seven-game losing streak at San Diego.
San Diego started the day as the No. 2 rushing defense at 81.1 yards per game.
Oakland free safety Michael Huff had a sack, an interception and five tackles as the Raiders held the Chargers to 21 yards rushing and sacked Philip Rivers four times.
Rivers was 23 of 39 for 280 yards, including a 4-yard touchdown pass to Antonio Gates with 9:59 left to cut the Raiders’ lead to 21-13, but McFadden’s 7-yard touchdown run with 4:40 left restored Oakland’s 15-point advantage.
Bush and Jason Campbell had touchdown runs and Campbell threw a 4-yard TD pass to Jacoby Ford as Oakland took a 21-3 lead in the first half.
