KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Rich Gannon lived well at his former team's expense.
The Oakland Raiders, who once suffered through an 11-game losing streak at Arrowhead Stadium, haven't lost there since signing Gannon — the loser of Kansas City's quarterback derby with Elvis Grbac — as a free agent in 1999.
In Sunday's 20-17 win against the Chiefs, in which the Raiders came back from a 17-7 deficit, Gannon was unflappable and all but unsackable. Often scrambling out of heavy pressure, he threw for 244 yards and two touchdowns and led the Raiders on a late drive that culminated in Sebastian Janikowski's 43-yard field goal with 25 seconds left.
The victory lifted the Raiders to 5-1, giving them a commanding lead in the AFC West against Kansas City (3-3), which had won three in a row.
"Rich Gannon was brilliant," said Raiders coach Jon Gruden. "This is the best game that he has played since I have been with him."
The Raiders started the winning drive at their 11 on the last play before the 2-minute warning. Gannon completed five straight passes for 49 yards and carried
twice for another 15 yards to set up Janikowski's winning kick.
"I moved around a little bit, to our benefit, obviously," said Gannon, who was 28-for-33 and also run eight times for 38 yards. "They are a great defensive team, but I was able to move around, find some lanes and get some yards."
Gannon's biggest gamble came on the drive that tied the score at 17 in the fourth quarter.
On fourth-and-1 from the Kansas City 35, Gannon scrambled and hit Tim Brown for 32 yards to the 3. After a false-start penalty, Tyrone Wheatley caught Gannon's 7-yard pass in the end zone with 9:25 left, capping an 80-yard drive that took more than eight minutes.
"I thought we had him sacked, and then he throws up a duck that Tim Brown makes a great play on," said Chiefs linebacker Donnie Edwards. "That's what Rich does. He's able to go out there and make something out of nothing."
Grac threw for more yards — 288 — than Gannon and threw first-half touchdown passes of 27 yards to Tony Gonzalez and 15 yards to Tony Richardson. But a hotly contested call after one of his completions killed Kansas City's best chance to break a 17-all tie midway through the fourth quarter.
Rookie wide receiver Sylvester Morris took a pass and lost the ball
at almost the same instant his knee hit the ground. The ball was recovered by Charles Woodson on the Oakland 12 with 7:09 left, and referee Tony Corrente upheld the fumble call after the Chiefs' challenge.
"I felt like I was down," Morris said. "I felt my knee had touched. Woodson made a great effort at getting the ball, but I felt I was down, and the referees felt otherwise. Nothing I can do about it."
Janikowski, a rookie, had no history with the Chiefs in the teams' bitter AFC West rivalry. Still, the winning kick provided a much needed shot of redemption.
Before hitting a 47-yarder to slice Kansas City's lead to 17-10 five minutes into the third quarter, the rookie first-round pick was 0-for-2 for the game and 0-for-6 from beyond the 40. He was wide left on attempts from 47 and 59 yards in the first half on Sunday.
"The media was putting a lot of pressure on me," he said. "I needed to get off by myself and figure out what I was doing wrong. I figured it out. I was kicking on the snap. That's why I was missing."
Chiefs kicker Todd Peterson hit a 27-yard field goal in the second quarter, but missed from 44 yards in the first.
"The bottom line is that we needed it and it was a miss." Peterson said. "That's why we lost by three points."
