    Just when it looked as if Philip Rivers would lead another late drive to crush the Raiders, Oakland's beleaguered defense came up with the big play.

    Michael Huff knocked the ball out of Rivers' hand and Tyvon Branch returned the fumble 64 yards for a score to help the Raiders snap their 13-game losing streak to San Diego with a 35-27 Sunday over their AFC West rivals.

    "That's a heck of a team, and it's been nemesis for a number of years, obviously dating back to 2003," coach Tom Cable said. "They've been the champ. And if you ever want to be that, you've got to beat the champ. So it's just a good win."
