Oakland, CA
Raiders defense — The unit has a season-high five sacks and two interceptions and allows only 248 total yards, including 97 rushing.
S Charles Woodson — His interception at the 49ers' 31 with 2:36 remaining seals the Oakland victory. Woodson finishes with seven solo tackles (eight total), a pass defensed and helps hold 49ers tight end Vernon Davis to two cartches for 26 yards.
P Andy Lee — Averages 52.5 yards on four punts, including a 63-yarder.
FB Bruce Miller — His 8-yard scoring catch in the opening quarter is the 49ers' first touchdown in two games.
A week after allowing six sacks against the St. Louis Rams, the Raiders (2-11) surrender only one sack — coming on Oakland's final offensive play when Derek Carr is tackled by Aldon Smith for a 9-yard loss on fourth-and-goal from the 6. 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick has an abysmal 54.4 passer rating on 13 completions in 33 pass attempts for 174 yards and a TD with an interception. The Raiders limit the 49ers (7-6) to 97 rushing yards on 18 carries. Oakland enters the game ranked 27th against the run, allowing 130.5 yards per game. The 49ers' Michael Crabtree has a game-high nine catches for only 56 yards (6.2 yards per catch). The Raiders' Mychael Rivera and Marcel Reece each have seven receptions for a combined 173 yards, with Rivera leading the way with 109 received yards. Donald Penn scores Oakland's first touchdown on a 3-yard pass from Derek Carr on a tackle-eligible play early in the second quarter. It is Penn's third career TD catch and second against the 49ers, having also snagged one in the 2010 season.
Raiders S Charles Woodsson
"This week it was preached to us just how important this game was. This week more and more of us became true Raiders, knowing what the heritage is about, knowing what this game was about, how important it was to this city."
Raiders DT Antonio Smith
“I know the kind of talent we have, I know the kind of team we have. We haven’t put it together, obviously, throughout the season. ... I felt for the first time there wasn’t the little detailed mistakes that just ruined it.”
Raiders QB Derek Carr
9.7: San Francisco average yards per pass on 18 completions in 33 attempts. 254: Passing yards by Oakland's Derek Carr, who reaches 200 or more passing yards for the first time in six games
