The Raider faithful that filled Oakland Alameda County Coliseum yesterday were treated to an exhilarating and exhausting comeback overtime win against arch rival Kansas City.
The win was the first time the Raiders have won three in a row in the AFC West since 1990 and three in a row overall since their Super Bowl runner-up season of 2002.

Several milestones were reached as Oakland walked away with a improbable 23-20 overtime win behind rookie wide receiver Jacoby Ford's playmaking ability and kicker Sebastian Janikowski's 33-yard game-winning field goal.
