FLASH RECAP:
Maurice Jones-Drew's 30-yard touchdown run with 1:34 remaining gives Jacksonville (8-5) a pulsating victory over visiting Oakland (6-7) before an announced crowd of 62,570 at EverBank Field on Dec. 12, 2010.
Darren McFadden has three touchdowns and 123 rushing yards for the Raiders, who suffer their third loss in four games.
McFadden's dazzling 36-yard TD run with 1:53 left deadlocks the score at 31-all. After Deji Karim returns the ensuing kickoff 65 yards to the Oakland 30, Jones-Drew bolts untouched over the left side of the line for the game-winning score.
Oakland advances to the Jacksonville 23-yard line on three Jason Campbell completions before time expires.
“It kicks you in the teeth,” Raiders coach Tom Cable tells reporters after the Jaguars win for the fifth time in six games.
The wild game features six touchdowns of 30 yards or more as the Jaguars overcome a halftime deficit for the first time since Oct. 18, 2009 against St. Louis.
The game turns in favor of the Jaguars when Oakland's Jacoby Ford coughs up a fumble at the Raiders' 21 on a kickoff return with 6:28 left in the third quarter. Five plays later, the Jaguars erase a 24-21 deficit on David Garrard's 10-yard TD pass to Michael Sims-Walker on third down.

THEY SAID IT:
Raiders DT Richard Seymour
"Anytime you give up that many big plays and points, you put your offense in a tough spot. We had way more than enough points to win this game. When it came down to it, we gave up too many big plays. You aren’t going to beat anybody doing that.”
“We believe we’re a team of destiny. It was a big win, but next week (at Indianapolis) will be bigger. You can’t sit back and hope Indy loses. We’ve got to take it. To be the champs, you’ve got to beat the champs.”
Jaguars DT Terrance Knighton
“It’s very frustrating. A game like that, it don’t mean nothing if you don’t win.”
Raiders RB Darren McFadden
