Raiders Overpower Eagles 13-9

OAKLAND (AP) ― The Oakland Raiders provided an emphatic answer to the skeptics dishing out barbs the last few weeks.

Louis Murphy threw two key blocks to spring Zach Miller's 86-yard touchdown catch, Justin Fargas ran for 87 yards and Oakland's defense harassed Donovan McNabb all day in the Raiders' 13-9 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

The result was one of the more shocking ones so far this season as the Raiders (2-4) had lost three straight games by at least 20 points for the first time in franchise history and failed to reach 200 yards of offense the past four, while the Eagles (3-2) were second in the league in points per game.
