FLASH RECAP:
Sebastian Janikowski kicks a 36-yard field goal 2:13 into overtime to give visiting Oakland a victory over Kansas City before an announced crowd of 70,803 at Arrowhead Stadium on Dec. 24, 2011.
The Raiders (8-7) end a three-game losing streak despite committing 15 penalties, including 10 in the first half, for 92 yards.
The Chiefs (6-9) deadlock the score at 13-all on a Dwayne Bowe 3-yard touchdown catch followed by a Ryan Succop PAT with 1:02 remaining in the fourth quarter.
The Raiders' Richard Seymour blocks Succop's 49-yard field goal attempt on the final play of regulation. Seymour also blocked a Succop 49-yard attempt on the final play of the first half.
On the first play of overtime, Carson Palmer completes a 53-yard pass to Darrius Heyward-Bay, giving Oakland a first down at the Kansas City 23. After two Michael Bush runs gain five yards to the 18 yard line, Janikowski nails the game winner, his third field goal of the game.
"I don’t know what it is about us," Raiders strong safety Tyvon Branch tells reporters after Oakland's fifth straight win over the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium. "We just find a way to make it interesting. It was a great win. We overcame a lot. We all stuck together. We all kept believing."
