At the half, the Raiders are down 21-10 to the Chargers. The Chargers look to be dominating the game. They have moved the ball essentially at will. The Raiders passing game has been next to nonexistent only gaining 21 yards. It looks like Cable has no confidence in Russell as the play-calling is not giving him much of a chance to do anything but hand off.

Raiders fourth drive: The Raiders took advantage of their field position after Chris Johnson's interception where they started at the Charger 27 yard line. Outside of one pass from Russell to Bush for four yards, the Raiders kept the ball on the ground all the way into the end zone.

Raiders defense:The Chargers marched right back down the field to score a touchdown and retake the lead. The Chargers running game was mostly silenced, but Phillip Rivers has been able to get the ball to Vincent Jackson with ease.

Raiders fifth drive: Three and out. Russell overthrew his receiver on third down. The Raiders are running the ball well, but they have no passing game.

Raiders defense: Chargers drive 80 yards through the Raiders defense. LaDainian Tomlinson capped the drive with a 9 yard touchdown run.

Raiders sixth drive: Jonathan Holland returned the kickoff 61 yards to the Raider 43 yardline. Darrius Heyward-Bey caught a ten yard pass from Russell and made a nice move to try to get out of bounds, even though he could not make it. Shawne Merriman sacked Russell, but Sebastian Janikowski was able to get the Raiders three points when he connected on a 48 yard field goal.
