The Raiders were handed their 10th loss by a team that had only 3 wins.  The Browns defeated the Raiders 23-9 in a game where Oakland committed stupid penalties and had two players ejected from the game.

Charlie Frye started at quarterback for the Raiders and finished 26 of 45 for 333 yards, 0 touchdowns, and 3 interceptions.  Tight End Zach Miller was the leading receiver with 9 catches for 110 yards.

Michael Bush carried the ball 10 times for 52 yards and Darren McFadden had 7 carries for 23 yards.

Sebastian Janikowski drilled the 4th longest field goal in NFL history with a 61-yard field goal to end the first half.

The Raiders are now 5-10 and play the Baltimore Ravens at home next Sunday to close out the season.

Charlie Frye started the game at quarterback, but was injured in the fourth quarter and replaced by JaMarcus Russell who led the Raiders on a 58 yard touchdown drive to win the game.

Russell connected with Chaz Schilens on a 10 yard game winning touchdown with 35 seconds left in the game.  Schilens had 5 catches for 37 yards and 1 touchdown.

Running back Michael Bush had a big game with 133 yards rushing and 1 touchdown.  Darren McFadden also had 74 yards.

The Raiders are now 5-9 and play the Browns next week in Cleveland.

Coach Tom Cable says JaMarcus Russell will “continue to develop” while Charlie Frye is given the starting quarterback job.

The Raiders also signed J.P. Losman who was a first round pick of the Buffalo Bills and recently led the Las Vegas Locomotives to the first United Football League championship.

What happened to the Raiders’ running game?  The Raiders rushed for only 65 yards against the Redskins, the fourth time this season they have been held below 70 yards on the ground.

Quarterback Bruce Gradkowski left the game in the 2nd quarter with two injured knees and was replaced by JaMarcus Russell who finished the game 10 of 16 for 74 yards and 1 interception.

Sebastian Janikowski has yet to break the longest field goal record, something he has claimed to be able to do.  He was well short on a 65 yard attempt at the end of the first half.

The Raiders are now 4-9 and travel to Denver next week to take on the Broncos.

The Raiders defeated the Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers again for the second time in their last two meetings, winning 27-24 in Pittsburgh.  Last time the two teams met the Raiders beat the Steelers in Oakland in the 2006 season after the Steelers defeated the Seahawks in the Super Bowl.

The Raiders’ defense held the Steelers close throughout the game.  The fourth quarter started with the Steelers ahead 10-6.

Bruce Gradkowski hit Louis Murphy for 2 touchdowns, including the game winning touchdown with nine seconds left in the game.  He finished 20 of 33, 308 yards, 3 touchdowns, and no interceptions.  Murphy had 4 catches for 128 yards and 2 touchdowns.

The Raiders are now 4-8 and host the Washington Redskins next week.
