FLASH RECAP:
Sebastian Janikowski kicks a 33-yard field goal 2:53 into overtime to lift Oakland to a victory over Kansas City before an announced crowd of 61,075 at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum on Nov. 7, 2010.
Janikowski’s decisive field goal, his third of the game, is set up by a 47-yard pass from Jason Campbell to Jacoby Ford to the Kansas City 15.
Janikowski forces overtime when he nails a 43-yard field goal with three seconds remaining in regulation to deadlock the score at 20-all. Ford’s 29-yard catch when he wrests the ball from a Chiefs defender at the Kansas City 22 sets up the game-tying field goal.
The AFC-West leading Chiefs (5-3) squander leads of 10-0 and 20-17 as the Raiders end a seven-game home losing streak against Kansas City.
"We’re back – there’s no doubt about it,” running back Darren McFadden proclaims to the media after Oakland’s third straight victory. “We’ve been believing in ourselves. We play for each other. We show it on the field."

THEY SAID IT:
Raiders coach Tom Cable
"Twenty seven penalties called on two teams in this league, in a game this big, is unbelievable.”
"In the first half, you would have thought we were the worst offense in the league after putting up 500 yards back-to-back weeks. Sometimes games happen like this."
Raiders QB Jason Campbell
“It’s difficult to take when you make the mistakes that we did today and lose.”
Chiefs QB Matt Cassel
"You know everybody hates Al Davis. They’re going to jump on us anytime that they can but they can’t argue with the results."
Raiders DT Tommy Kelly
