FLASH RECAP:
Oakland (2-5) doesn't score a touchdown and commits a season-high 14 penalties for 100 yards en route to a loss to Tennessee (5-2) before an announced crowd of 69,143 at LP Field in Nashville, Tenn. on Oct. 28, 2007.

The Titans erase a 9-3 deficit on Chris Henry's 24-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter. Rob Bironas adds a 23-yard field goal 3:38 into the fourth period for Tennessee.

Oakland's final drive ends at the Tennessee 30-yard line when Mike Williams drops a potential first-down pass at the 16 on fourth-and-14 with 1:17 left.

THEY SAID IT:
"You can’t ask for a better situation. We’re on the road, fourth-and-forever, game on the line. What more can you ask for? That was the play that lost the game. I had an opportunity and I blow it. This is going to be hard to swallow."

Raiders WR Mike Williams

"That was the game plan this week, to go three tight ends and just pound the ball real hard. I really feel like LenDale answered that challenge. I feel like the offensive line answered that challenge."
