    The Oakland Raiders followed a win with a masterpiece instead of a dud for a change.

    Jason Campbell threw for 310 yards and two touchdowns, and Oakland's defense did the rest to help the Raiders even their record at the midpoint of the season with a 33-3 victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.

    Darren McFadden ran for 111 yards as the Raiders (4-4) reached the .500 mark this late in the season for the first time since 2002. They also finally put together back-to-back wins, a feat that had eluded them the past two seasons.

    "It just continues to build confidence," McFadden said. "You win one then come back the next week and flop, you're back to like zero. You win two in a row and it builds your confidence even more."

    Oakland had lost its last seven games following a win, outscored by an average of 17 points. This time, the Raiders followed up their 59-point offensive outburst in Denver a week ago with a shutdown defensive effort against the Seahawks (4-3).
