OAKLAND (AP) — Whether it was Darren McFadden sprint- ing around the corner, a couple of trick plays or pure will, the Oak- land Raiders overpowered the Jets like no other team has since coach Rex Ryan brought his brash style to New York two years ago. McFadden ran for 171 yards and two touchdowns and the Raiders added two more touch- downs on the ground as part of the most productive rushing day against the Jets since Ryan took over as the Raiders won 34-24 Sunday. ''Coach Hue (Jackson) always tells us we're building a bully,'' McFadden said. ''It doesn't mat- ter who we're playing against. That's what we're trying to do, to bully them. That's what we did today.'' Denarius Moore scored on a 23-yard reverse and Michael Bush added a 1-yard TD run 42 seconds later as the Raiders (2-1) took control in a dizzying span beginning late in the third quarter to hand the Jets (2-1) their first loss. Mark Sanchez had a much rougher second trip to Oakland in his career, getting bloodied on one of Oakland's four second- half sacks and needing a visor to protect a cut on his face. He also said after the game that he would have an X-ray to check to see if his nose was broken. It was a far different end than his game here two years ago, when he memorably was eating a hot dog on the sideline in the clos- ing minutes of a 38-0 victory that was the most lopsided home loss in Raiders history. Sanchez completed 27 of 43 passes for a career-high 369 yards, but threw a costly intercep- tion in the end zone in the first half. He later cut Oakland's lead to 31-24 with a 16-yard pass to Plaxico Burress with 5:33 remaining. He also ran for one touchdown and had a second overturned by replay in the final minute, ending New York's last gasp. ''I just feel like they're a revamped Raiders group,'' Sanchez said. ''We had momen- tum on our side, we let them hang around at halftime then they came and knocked us around a little in the third quarter.'' A week after blowing a game defensively in the second half in Buffalo, the Raiders finished against New York. Campbell scrambled 10 yards and found Bush for a 28-yard gain after buy- ing time with his feet to set up Sebastian Janikowski's 49-yard field goal with 2:32 left to ice it. Campbell was 18 for 27 for 156 yards, but the Raiders won Lincecum struggles in loss PHOENIX (AP) — San Francisco Giants ace Tim Lincecum will likely finish the season with a losing record for the first time in his career. But the star right-hander was less concerned Sunday about the disappointing season as the pitch that got away in San Francisco's 5-2 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks. ''I've never hit a batter on purpose in my life,'' Lincecum said a couple of hours after hitting Diamondbacks right fielder Justin Upton in the front of the helmet. ''I've made purpose pitches up there to back guys off plates, but never that close.'' He initially remained in the game and scored Arizona's second run, but left after the inning for precautionary rea- sons. Neurological tests on Upton were negative and he is listed day to day. While Upton stayed in the game — albeit briefly — Lincecum (13-14) was impacted immediately. ''I was kind of afraid to go in for fear that kind of stuff would happen again,'' said Lincecum, who approached the plate to check on Upton and also sent a message to the right fielder. ''I had one of the players send a message over there say- ing that it was a complete accident and I had no intention of doing that. ''I just kind of lost it. I was trying to go low and away and it was the complete opposite.'' Lincecum allowed five runs and eight hits with two walks and three strikeouts en route to the loss and the first losing record of his career. Athletics win with 4-run 9th ANAHEIM (AP) — The Oakland Athletics sent the Los Angeles Angels to a defeat that may last with them — and closer Jordan Walden — for a long time. Josh Willingam homered to start a ninth-inning rally, and Walden threw away a potential game-ending dou- ble-play grounder as the A's came back for a 6-5 victory Sunday. ''We were down three runs, and we battled back,'' Willingham said. ''They gave us a couple of things, and we took advantage of it.'' Trying to get a four-out save, Walden gave up Will- ingham's 28th homer, and Scott Sizemore and Chris Carter singled with one out. Walden (5-4) then threw Adam Rosales' comebacker past shortstop Erick Aybar and into center field as Size- more scored. ''I knew I was working with Aybar,'' Walden said. ''But the ball was hit back to me so hard and so quick, I hesitated for a second and the ball just sailed on me.'' this game on the ground, putting up the most yards rushing (234), most rushing touchdowns and the third-most points in a game against the Ryan-led Jets. ''It was humiliating for us to have something like that happen to us,'' Jets defensive lineman Sione Pouha said. ''All we can do is make the corrections that we need to do and bounce back.'' After Chimdi Chekwa broke up a fourth-down pass to Bur- ress, Oakland used some trickery to go 63 yards in four plays to take a 24-17 lead in the final minute of the third quarter. The first deception came on a half- back option to McFadden. He wanted to throw back to Camp- bell, but that was covered so he ran 27 yards instead, faking a pass about 8 yards down the field. On the next play, Moore took a reverse that the Jets appeared to have stopped. But Moore cut upfield to elude David Harris and Samson Satele flattened Jim Leonhard with a block, springing Moore for the touchdown that made it 24-17. ''Let your players make plays,'' Jackson said of his philos- ophy. ''That's what I'm trying to create here. I'm going to create an environment where our great players can do something spe- cial.'' 5 2 5 6 34 24 Sports Raiders roll Jets 34-24 1B Monday September 26, 2011 Hunter TD rallies 49ers over Bengals CINCINNATI (AP) — One game into their weeklong trip, the San Francisco 49ers already have a very nice gift to take home and put on the shelf. And they've left room in the suitcase for one more. Kendall Hunter ran 7 yards for the game's only touchdown with 3:59 to go Sunday, rallying the 49ers to a 13-8 victo- ry over the Cincinnati Bengals that began their extended stay in the Buckeye State on an upbeat note. The 49ers (2-1) haven't had many wins on East Coast time lately, and it looked like they'd forgotten to pack their West Coast offense. San Francisco didn't even cross midfield for the first time until mid- way through the third quarter. Trailing 6-3, the 49ers put together their only drive of the game for the win- ning score, stunning the smallest crowd for a Bengals home opener in 30 years. Now, there's something to write home about. ''To become that type of team that wins on the road and take that next step, you have to win like this,'' said Alex Smith, who was 4 of 5 for 48 yards on the win- ning drive. ''I think guys were frustrated, but in a good way. They were frustrated and fired up. They wanted the ball back. ''That was different. A lot of times, I've been on teams where it's kind of, 'Here we go again,' and this is a lot different.'' It was a satisfying start to the 49ers' visit to Ohio. They'll practice at Youngstown State the next few days, then head to Philadelphia for their next game. What do they think so far? ''It's a lot different over here,'' Hunter said. Sure is. In a lot of ways. There were only 43,363 fans at 65,500- seat Paul Brown Stadium, the Bengals' smallest crowd for a home opener since they played at Riverfront Stadium in 1981. Cincinnati (1-2) was limited to a pair of field goals by Mike Nugent during rookie quarterback Andy Dalton's first dismal performance. He threw two interceptions in the fourth quarter, the first of his career. The 49ers sent that small crowd head- ing for the exits when Reggie Smith inter- cepted Dalton's throw with 1:45 left. ''We started fast, which is what you come out to do,'' said Dalton, who led the Bengals to an opening field goal. ''We were flat after that. We couldn't do the things we wanted to do.'' David Akers kicked two field goals for San Francisco, including a 53-yarder after Dalton's first interception, pushing the lead to 13-6. After Smith intercepted Dal- ton again with 1:45 to go, punter Andy Lee ran out of the end zone for a safety to finish it with 2 seconds left. Haas wins high-stakes FedEx ATLANTA (AP) — Bill Haas had a sinking feeling when he heard the gallery groan, the first indication that his shot had tumbled down the slope and into the lake. When he saw the ball only half-submerged in water, Haas figured he still had the slightest chance. To somehow save par. Against all odds, to stay alive in his sudden- death playoff with Hunter Mahan at the Tour Cham- pionship, the richest play- off in golf history with FedEx Cup and its $10 million bonus riding on the outcome. ''It was an all or noth- ing shot,'' Haas said. ''So if I don't pull it off, I'm shaking Hunter's hand.'' As he did through the final, frenzied hour at East Lake on Sunday, it worked to near perfection. Haas splashed the ball out onto the green to 3 feet for par, then won the Tour Championship — and the FedEx Cup — on the third extra playoff hole. In the five-year history of this FedEx Cup, no fin- ish was more compelling. A handful of players had a shot at the $10 mil- lion with an hour left in the tournament until it came down to two — Haas and Mahan, in a sudden-death playoff with such high stakes that the MCT photo Bill Haas pumps his fist to the crowd after sink- ing a putt on the 18th green to win both the FedEx Cup and the Tour Championship by a stroke over Hunter Mahan Sunday. difference between win- ning and losing was near- ly $10 million. Haas wound up win- ning a combined $11.44 million, including $10 million for capturing the FedEx Cup. Mahan, who failed to save par from a bunker on the third extra hole, had to settle for $864,000 as the runner-up and $700,000 for finish- ing seventh in the FedEx Cup. Haas won for the first time this year, and the payoff could be more than just a massive bank deposit. Fred Couples makes his final captain's pick on Tuesday for the Presidents Cup, and Haas put on quite a show. ''I did what I could do,'' Haas said.
