FLASH RECAP:
Sebastien Janikowski kicks three field goals and Derrick Burgess clinches victory with a fourth-down sack as Oakland (4-6) defeats Washington (5-5) before an announced crowd of 90,129 at FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland on Nov. 20, 2005.
Janikowski's 19-yard field goal with 1:08 remaining gives Oakland its first lead of the game. The Redskins advance the football to the Raiders' 43-yard line before Mark Brunell loses a fumble after being sacked by Burgess on fourth-and-2 with 5 seconds left.
After the game, Raiders coach Norv Turner is presented the game ball in the victorious Oakland locker room. Turner was fired as Redskins coach with three games left in the 2000 season. Washington was 7-6 at the time of his dismissal. He had a 50-60-1 record (including playoffs) in 6 1/2 plus seasons with the Redskins.
"We know what happened, we know the emotion and the excitement he had to come back here," defensive end Bobby Hamilton tells reporters after the Raiders end a two-game losing streak. "We gave him the game ball, coming back to the team who ran him out. He was very excited, very emotional. He dropped his head. He was excited because he got a win."
Turner said: "I coached in a lot of games here where if we could've got a sack on the last play like that before they had a chance to throw the ball, we would've won a lot more games. That's how you win and lose."
The Raiders' Kerry Collins is 19-of-36 passing for 289 yards and a touchdown with an interception. Collins' 49-yard TD pass to Jerry Porter early in the third quarter launches Oakland's comeback from a 13-3 halftime deficit.
The Redskins' Brunell completes 14 of 32 passes for 155 yards and no touchdowns with a 58.7 passer rating. After building a 13-3 lead at halftime, Washington has only 94 total yards and fails to score in the second half.
The teams combine for 16 penalties for 151 yards. The Raiders have 10 of those penalties for 101 yards.
