Well, the 14-year wait for the Oakland Raiders to return to the playoffs is finally over, and the lone player left from that era scored the game-winning points.

Sebastian Janikowski, who was drafted with the 17th pick in the 2000 draft and is the last player left from the team that lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 48-21 in Super Bowl XXXVII kicked a 44-yard field goal with 2:40 remaining in the fourth quarter and the Raiders defeated the San Diego Chargers 19-16 at Qualcomm Stadium.

In what was a road game looked like the Oakland Coliseum, as the Raider Nation made the trek down to San Diego for what could be the last Raiders game in San Diego, as the Chargers may move to Los Angeles next season.

The eventual game-winning drive started on their own 34-yard line, and were helped out by two big plays.

Latavius Murray ran thru a big hole and gained 27 yards for a huge first down. Then Derek Carr threw a 22-yard pass that setup Janikowski’s game-winning field goal.

Just prior to the Janikowski field goal, Carr helped out his own cause, as he was able to pickup a key first down at the Chargers 21-yard line.

Carr was originally ruled out at the 22-yard line, a yard short of the first down line marker; however Jack Del Rio challenged the spot and the call was reserved.

Carr then threw an incompletion, and he was then sacked to setup Janikowski for the game-winning field goal.

Reggie Nelson clinched the victory, as he intercepted a Philip Rivers pass with 1:37 remaining to clinch the victory.

Janikowski made four field goals overall, as he also hit 21, 45 and 33 yards.

Rivers gave the Chargers a 16-13 lead, as he found tight end Hunter Henry from seven yards out, but Josh Lambo missed the extra point.

Janikowski tied up the game with 8:38 remaining, as he kicked 21-yard field goal.

Carr ended up going 19-for-30 for 213 yards with a touchdown and a interception, and added five carries for five yards.

Michael Crabtree scored the only Raiders touchdown, as he was on the receiving end of a 19-yard touchdown pass from Carr.

Crabtree was originally out of bounds, but after a review, the call was reversed, as he got both feet in.
