Raiders - 24 Texans - 30
EDIT Commish - Raiders were deducted 7 points for the TD pass to invalid sub.
Reporter: Plaxico you came up huge for your team with 3 touchdowns and one of those of course being the game winning catch, so why did you come up so big today?
Plaxico: You know my boy TO attracted alot of attention so i was able to get some seperation deep a couple times. I love the fans here in Oakland they really do bleed silver and black so I couldn't let everyone out here down in our first home game. So when they were starting to pull away I really kicked in that extra gear and I was able to make some plays. Give credit to Eli though, he put the ball where it needed to be.
Reporter: Eli, you didnt see any action until Carson Palmer threw 2 INT's and was pulled. So what was it like coming off the bench and winning the game for your team?
Eli: You know its a great feeling I really didnt expect to play but the way things went I got a huge oppurtunity. I just tried to settle down and make my reads and find the mismatches. Its really amazing to see our guys come together as a team and come away with a win. I'm still pumped and its not a win that will be soon forgotton.
Reporter: Darrick Brown, you had 2 interceptions, one set up a td, the other sealed up the win and on top of that you also had a recieving touchdown. You were an undrafted rookie so no one expected you to play like you did. Were you suprised with the way you played?
Darrick: No, I know what I can do and i know I'm one of the best out there. Not being drafted just made me work even harder. I made plays and thats what my team mates expect of me, If you dont know me you will now, cause i'm comin hard every week.
Reporter: Terrell you had a pretty quite day, how do you think you will do in upcoming weeks?
Terrell: Well I saw alot of double teams so Plax was able to take advantage of that. But next week get ya popcorn rea
