JaMarcus Russell 2 6 45.6% 830 51.0
Jason Campbell 5 2 65.3% 963 85.5

Louis Murphy threw three great blocks on one of the longest pass plays in Raider history from JaMarcus Russell to Zach Miller. Russell did ice the game with under two minutes left by completing a 12-yard pass to Gary Russell on a 3rd and 10.

Russells’ day: 17-28 for 224 yards with 2 Int, a TD and a passer rating of 68.2
