Recap: Oakland vs. Philadelphia
By Sports Network
Oakland, CA (Sports Network) - Zach Miller caught six passes for 139 yards and the game's only touchdown, as the Oakland Raiders used a strong defensive effort to pull out a 13-9 win over the Philadelphia Eagles.
JaMarcus Russell set season highs in completions (17) and passing yards (224) for the Raiders (2-4), finishing 17-for-28 with the touchdown and two interceptions. Justin Fargas ran for 87 yards on 23 carries.
While Oakland's offense came close to its point-per-game average of 9.8, its defense provided a stellar effort to facilitate the win. The Raiders came into Sunday's contest allowing 26 points per game, facing an Eagles team that had averaged 368.8 yards and 31.8 points.
But Oakland recorded six sacks and held the Eagles to three field goals in snapping a three-game losing streak.
Donovan McNabb threw for 269 yards on 22-of-46 passing, and looked out-of- rhythm for Philadelphia (3-2), which had little in the way of a rushing attack. Brian Westbrook had only six carries, running for 50 yards, and also caught nine passes for 91 yards for the Eagles, who had won their last two.
