OAKLAND RAIDERS RAP
FLASH RECAP:
Sebastian Janikowski kicks a 24-yard field goal with 13 seconds left to give Oakland a dramatic victory over San Diego before an announced crowd of 66,659 at Qualcomm Stadium on Oct. 29, 2000. Janikowski also makes kicks of 40, 40, 54 and 29 yards to lead the Raiders to their fifth straight win. Jim Harbaugh throws 8- and 21-yard touchdown passes to Freddie Jones in the second half to rally the Chargers from a 12-0 deficit. With a 7-1 record, Oakland has its best start since 1984.
PRIME-TIME PLAYERS:
PK Sebastian Janikowski -- Provides the winning points with a last-minute field goal for the second time in three games. The Polish Cannon makes kicks of 40, 40, 54,, 29 and 24 yards against San Diego. The rookie is wide left on a 42-yard attempt late in the third quarter. Janikowski equals Jeff Jaeger's club record of five field goals against Denver on Dec. 11, 1994. The rookie's 54-yard kick matches the team record shared by Jaeger (Oct. 4, 1992 vs. Giants) and George Fleming (Oct. 2, 1961 vs. Denver).
WR Andre Rison -- Has a team-high five catches for 67 yards. Makes third-down receptions of 18 and 9 yards on the game-winning drive.
DT Darrell Russell -- Contributes four tackles, including one for a 7-yard loss. He had only two tackles in the previous four games. Is penalized for inexcusable late hits on San Diego QB Jim Harbaugh and RB Terrell Fletcher.
WR David Dunn -- Keeps alive the game-winning drive with a 10-yard catch (his first of the season) on third-and-four.
FS Anthony Dorsett -- Blocks a 40-yard field goal attempt by San Diego's Jon Carney early in the fourth quarter.
QB Jim Harbaugh -- Completes 15 of 20 passes for 151 yards and two touchdowns in the second half.
TE Freddie Jones -- Has 10 receptions for 111 yards and two touchdowns.
MLB Junior Seau -- Sets up San Diego's go-ahead touchdown by intercepting a Rich Gannon pass at the Oakland 37. The Chargers' emotional leader also contributes six tackles and two passes defensed.
SS Rodney Harrison -- Helps limit Oakland's Tim Brown to only three catches for 29 yards.

THEY SAID IT:
Raiders CB Eric Allen
"If you look back at the past two years, we would have come up short in a game like this. Before we would underachieve. Everyone would wait for us to collapse. But now we're going to give you everything we have."
