Raiders...20 Broncos...19

Key: Benched a month ago and passed by Charlie Frye on the depth chart this week, JaMarcus Russell came off the bench to throw the deciding 10-yard touchdown pass to Chaz Schilens with 35 seconds left. The former No. 1 overall draft pick entered when Frye was knocked out of the game early in the fourth quarter.

Raiders said: “They’re all special, but this one’s pretty high.” -- Russell, who was sidelined for one play on the deciding drive

Broncos said: “We have no margin for error. The sense of urgency was supposed to be today. And unfortunately it wasn’t.” -- Vonnie Holliday, defensive end
