OAKLAND — Sebastian Janikowski bailed out Oakland Coach Tom Cable in his home debut as Raiders coach.
Janikowski’s team-record 57-yard field goal with 2:30 left in overtime gave the Raiders a 16-13 victory over Brett Favre and the New York Jets.
The game went to overtime because Cable called a late timeout that negated Jay Feely’s missed field-goal attempt at the end of regulation. Feely made good on his second attempt, a 52-yarder with three seconds left that sent the game to overtime.
There the teams traded punts on the first five possessions before JaMarcus Russell connected with Javon Walker for 16 yards and Zach Miller for 27 to move the Raiders (2-4) into field-goal range.
Thomas Jones ran for 159 yards, but the Jets (3-3) were unable to overcome Brett Favre’s worst game with his new team. Only one of Favre’s first 17 completions went for more than 15 yards.
Quoteworthy: “I came here to win games like that. So that’s what’s disappointing for me.” -- Brett Favre, Jets quarterback
