Quick Take: Janikowski lifts Raiders in OT

Published: Oct 19, 2008 at 02:46 PM

It was over when ...
Sebastian Janikowski kicked a club-record 57-yard field goal with 2:30 left in overtime. The Jets tied the game on Jay Feely's 52-yard field goal with three seconds left in regulation. Feely had missed his first attempt, but Raiders coach Tom Cable had called timeout before the play started, which gave the veteran another chance.

Game ball
The Raiders have been guarded with second-year quarterback JaMarcus Russell. But offensive coordinator Greg Knapp took the wraps off his young signal caller at the end of OT, and Russell responded with impressive completions to Javon Walker and Zach Miller to get the Raiders in position for Janikowski's winning kick.

Key stat
Favre threw two interceptions as the Jets had three total turnovers. The Raiders did not turn the ball over.

Noteworthy
Cable got his first NFL win. ... Favre has 37 career game-tying drives in the fourth quarter. ... The Raiders snapped a four-game home losing streak. ... Walker had his first touchdown reception of the season.
