LaMont Jordan Randy Moss

Last week's loss to Philadelphia was apparently a momentous wake-up call for several - most notably running back LaMont Jordan and kicker Sebastian Janikowski. A week after tallying only 19 yards on 16 carries, LaMont Jordan put his head down 26 times for a 126-yard effort in Oakland's home win to 2010 pro bowl Vikings 4 Brett Favre jersey
Dallas 19-13. Sebastian Janikowski, who let six points slip away from him last week, had a perfect game in Oakland to add 13 points onto LaMont Jordan's six.Despite 13 penalties for 85 yards, Oakland was able to hold the lead for the entire game. The young secondary held Cowboy quarterback Drew Bledsoe to just 11 completions for 212 yards on 26 attempts. Ranked third in NFL passer rating coming into Sunday's game, Bledsoe's yardage total and completion percentage was his worst of the 2005 season thus far. On the other side of the field, Kerry Collins threw another pickless game with 13 completions for 218 yards. Marshall standout Randy Moss reached the 100-yard mark for the third time in just four games this season with 123 yards.Perhaps more important than the 100-yard games by both Randy Moss and LaMont Jordan was the exceptional performance of the Raiders defensive line. In spite of facing 22 carries by running back Julius Jones, Oakland's line held him to only 76 yards-an average of just 3.5 yards per carry. Additionally, Oakland consistently collapsed the pocket around statue Drew Bledsoe, causing him to force several bad throws. Off-season acquisition Derrick Burgess reached the quarterback twice, while veteran Warren Sapp also had success on the line with a sack of his own. Along with eight tackles on the game, strong safety Derrick Gibson also reached Bledsoe for a sack on a vital third down blitz.Only with less than five minutes left in the fourth quarter was Dallas within reach of their first lead of the game. Set up by a 57-yard pass to Terry Glenn with 4:14 left in the game, Dallas was facing a first and ten from the Oakland 11-yard line with just over two minutes left. On first down, Julius Jones ran off the left tackle for eight yards to the Oakland three-yard line-the closest Dallas would get to capturing their first lead. Tommy Kelly stuffed Julius Jones two yards behind the line of scrimmage on second down, 6 Sanchez White Jersey
followed by two Bledsoe incompletions on third and fourth down.At the expense of the Dallas Cowboys, the 1-3 can now head into their bye week with their heads up and their hopes high. Oakland's next opponent is the San Diego Chargers on October 16th.
