RECAP
This was a great game with Jamarcus leading the young Raiders to an upset victory over the Chargers. With less than 2 minutes to play, Russell drove the Raiders down the field and they converted with a go-ahead TD on a 9yard draw play to Rhodes with only 15 seconds left. Look out for the Raiders in 09!

RECAP
This was another fantastic game that came right down to the wire. This was more of a sloppy, grind it out kind of game with stingy defenses on both sides. But trailing 27-24 with 2 minutes remaining, Hasselbeck orchestrated a beautiful 2-minute offense down the field to set kicker Josh Brown up for a potential game tying 47yd field goal attempt with only 3 seconds left. I immediately “iced” the kicker with a timeout and then, after a brief TV timeout, watched helplessly as the kick sailed through the air toward the posts only to hit the right upright! This is the way Madden games should feel like!
