This time, he threw a 45-yarder to Gabriel on a three-play drive that began with Gabriel's 15-yard catch. Gabriel's over-the-shoulder reception just ahead of cornerback David Macklin and subsequent dash into the end zone late in the third quarter cut the Raiders' deficit to 13-10.

Seconds later, Grant Irons sacked Josh McCown, forcing a fumble that Maugaula Tuitele recovered on the Arizona 27.

Justin Fargas covered the distance in four carries.
