FLASH RECAP:
Oakland holds Philadelphia to 282 total yards and three David Akers field goals. Zach Miller scores on an 86-yard catch and run and Sebastian Janikowski kicks field goals of 29 and 46 yards for the Raiders. Justin Fargas leads Oakland with 87 rushing yards on 23 carries. Brian Westbrook has 50 yards on six carries for the Eagles, who finish with 67 rushing yards. The Raiders surprise the Eagles after being outscored 16-96 in dropping the past three games. Oakland holds an opponent without a touchdown for the first time in 48 games. Miller’s scoring catch is the first touchdown pass for JaMarcus Russell in four games. PRIME-TIME PLAYERS:
Oakland defense — The unit has six sacks, doesn't allow a touchdown and prevents the Eagles from getting inside the Oakland 15-yard line.
DEs Richard Seymour & Trevor Scott — Each have two of Oakland's six sacks.
QB Donovan McNabb — Has 269 passing yards on 22 of 46 attempts.
K David Akers — Is 3-of-5 on field goal attempts, but his two misses from 43 and 47 yards could have helped fueled a successful Eagles comeback.
KEY STATS:
THEY SAID IT:
Raiders DE Trevor Scott
"I'm embarrassed with the way we played. We're a much better football team. With a young team, you take baby steps and sometimes you hit a wall. We didn't expect it, but we hit the wall today."
Eagles QB Donovan McNabb
"If we take care of our job, we can play with anyone, because you look across our roster, we have talent across the roster, especially on the defensive side of the ball. It’s about us taking care of our responsibilities."
Raiders DE Richard Seymour
