Raiders Lead 14-7 After Three Quarters

Rookie WR John Madsen appeared to score on a 59 yard pass from Aaron Brooks on the Raiders first possesion of the second half but the play was challenged by Marty Schottenheimer and reversed. Madsen was ruled out of bounds at the 2 yard line for a 57 yard reception, his fifth of the season. On the very next play Aaron Brooks faked the hand-off to the runningback and went back to Madsen near the back of the endzone for a 2 yard touchdown reception, the first of his career.
RAIDERS 14, CHARGERS 7

Toward the end of the third quarter Nnamdi Asomugha intercepted Phillip Rivers and to end the quarter the Raiders are threatening with a first and fifteen on the Chargers 25.
