The Raiders (2-3) beat the Chargers (2-3) 35-27 yesterday to get back in the AFC West race. Two blocked punts in the first quarter and a late defensive touchdown by SS Tyvon Branch bracketed this most important win. Starting QB Bruce Gradkowski left the game in the second quarter with a shoulder injury and was relieved by backup QB Jason Campbell, who led them to the win. The Raiders ended San Diego's 13 game winning streak against them. Next up for the Raiders are the San Francisco Forty Niners who are now 0-5 after suffering their fifth straight loss last night to the Philadelphia Eagles 27 - 24.
