Well this is embarrassing.
Just three halves into his career with the team, coach Tom Cable benched Jason Campbell in favor of Bruce Gradkowski with the Raiders trailing 7-3 going into the third quarter. Campbell was 8 of 15 passes for 87 yards and an interception with 29 seconds left in the first half.
Gradkowski proceeded to take the offense down the field twice — one for a 41-yard chip shot by Sebastian Janikowski and another for a 4-yard touchdown to wide receiver Louis Murphy, giving the Raiders a 13-7 lead.
