The bun barely reached the green. The hot dog landed on the putting surface. The 31-year-old man, whose name wasn't released, dropped to the ground to be arrested as Santa Clara sher- iff's deputies converged on him. Woods backed off his birdie putt, then quickly resumed play. 5:05 p.m. TBS 3:30 p.m. PLAYOFFS 1:19 p.m. FOX Texas leads series 1-0 48 3 9 6 Sports HOUSTON (AP) — Coach Hue Jackson sank to his knees, buried his face in his hands and finally released the emotions he'd been holding back. Up in the visitor's suite at Reliant Stadium, Mark Davis wiped away tears with a paper towel and glanced to the sky. The Oakland Raiders won the day after their maverick owner Al Davis died, beating the Houston Texans 25-20 on Sunday behind Jason Campbell's two touchdown passes. Michael Huff intercept- ed Matt Schaub's pass in the end zone on the final play, and the Raiders ran to celebrate a bittersweet vic- tory unlike any other in the storied history of the fran- chise. Al, this one's for you. ''One thing coach (Davis) always taught me was he said: 'Hue don't believe in plays, believe in players and eventually the players will make plays for you,''' Jackson said. ''And that's what I did. I could just hear him saying that to me the whole time. Believe in your players and not the plays.'' Stadiums around the league observed a moment of silence before the early games to honor Davis, who died at his Oakland home at age 82. His son, Mark, took his place in the owner's box, and the Raiders wore black decals on the backs of their helmets with ''AL'' written in silver letters. They were statistically dominated by Houston, outgained 473-278 and held to 11 first downs and 94 yards rushing. They still managed to do the only thing that ever mattered to Davis. They just won, baby. ''We know he's looking down on us right now,'' MCT photo Arian Foster (23) of the Houston Texans is tackled by Kamerion Wimbley (96) of the Oakland Raiders in the first half of their game Sunday in Houston. Huff said. ''This win is for him. I appreciate everything he's done for this organiza- tion. He's never gone in our eyes. We'll never let him go. He's with us.'' Sebastian Janikowski kicked four field goals, and Oakland hung on to improve to 3-2. The Raiders drafted Janikowski in 2000, only the third time a kicker had been taken in the first round. ''He was looking over us,'' Janikowski said. ''I was feeling good and hit- ting everything in warmups.'' Schaub threw for 416 yards and two touchdowns but missed star receiver Andre Johnson, who sat out with a right hamstring injury. The Texans (3-2) still had a chance to win start to finish at Kansas KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Jimmie Johnson with under a minute left, facing a third-and-23 from the Oakland 39. Schaub scrambled and found tight end Joel Dreessen open at the 5, and Schaub spiked the ball with seven seconds left. Instead of trying to run for the win- ning score, Schaub lobbed a pass to Jacoby Jones, and Huff stepped in to pick it off. ''My mobility wasn't limited at the time,'' Schaub said, ''but I'm not necessar- ily a guy that's going to make a whole lot of guys miss in the open field.'' For Oakland, a messy victory never felt so good. ''This is a new begin- ning for this football team,'' Jackson said. ''We don't care if they're ugly, we don't care if they're pretty. We just don't care. Our No. 1 purpose when we play is to win. ''We all had coach tied to our hearts today.'' The Raiders pulled off a fake punt that Davis would've loved to keep momentum in the fourth quarter. ter job,'' After the Texans stopped Darren McFadden on third- and-1, Rock Cartwright took the snap and raced 35 yards to the Houston 25. Janikowski kicked a 42- yard field goal with 10 min- utes left for a 25-17 Oak- land lead. With no Johnson to tar- get, Schaub threw six con- secutive incompletions dur- ing one stretch of the final quarter. ''We've got to do a bet- receiver Kevin Walter said. ''We've got to do a better job at making plays when it really counts.'' Neil Rackers' 40-yard field goal cut Oakland's lead to 25-20 with 2:56 left, and Houston's defense held to give the offense one more chance. The Raiders flew to Houston on Friday, then learned Saturday morning that Davis had died. Jack- son gathered his players for an emotional meeting at their hotel. Jackson was surprised how emotional he got after Sunday's game. ''I thought I had it all out the other day,'' he said. ''Obviously I didn't. I know he's looking down on this team and he's with us every step of the way.'' Johnson dominates from 49ers avenge shutout in rout SAN FRANCISCO (AP) didn't qualify where he wanted, and his car never quite cooperated during the final practice session at Kansas Speedway. So he spent Saturday evening in the garage area, going over different setups with the rest of his team. That dedication, that attention to detail, is a big reason he's chasing his sixth straight Cup title. Johnson and his team must have figured things out. The defending series champion stormed to the front early Sunday, then weathered a series of late cautions before holding off Kasey Kahne in a green-white-checkered finish for his first win since April. ''Jimmie was very dedicated last night with us, trying to figure out the setup of the car,'' crew chief Chad Knaus said. ''We pored over a lot of combi- nations and we came up with a good one.'' Talk about an understatement. Johnson led 197 laps in one of the most domi- nant performances the track has ever seen. The vic- tory was the 55th for Johnson, moving him into a tie with Rusty Wallace for the eighth on the career list, and the 199th for team owner Rick Hendrick. Brewers rally, beat Cards 9-6 in NLCS opener MILWAUKEE (AP) — The barbs already were flying. Come Sunday, the Milwaukee Brew- ers bashed the St. Louis Cardinals with their bats. Needing a rally in the NL championship series opener, Milwaukee turned to its power duo of Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder, then got a clutch hit from Yuniesky Betancourt to beat the St. Louis Cardinals 9-6. Braun launched a two-run, 463-foot homer in the first inning and added a two-run double dur- ing a six-run burst in the fifth. Fielder hit a two- run homer and the typically light-hitting Betan- court added a two-run homer to cap the big come- back. At least for one game, the bitter NL Central rivals avoided any on-field confrontations in their first postseason matchup since the 1982 World Series. That's despite an already-tense atmosphere that gained some steam when Brewers starter Zack Greinke let it slip on Saturday that some of his teammates don't like the Cardinals' Chris Carpenter — a comment that drew a stern rebuke from Cardinals manager Tony La Russa. The atmosphere was tense even before the first pitch, as La Russa was showered with boos dur- ing pregame introductions. He calmly tipped his cap to the crowd. — Alex Smith never got a chance to help during an embarrassing shutout loss to Tampa Bay last year. He watched from the side- line as former coach Mike Singletary chose Troy Smith to start instead. Smith did in the Bucca- neers this time, throwing two of his three touchdown passes to Vernon Davis and leading the San Francisco 49ers to a 48-3 win Sunday for their best start in nine years. Carlos Rogers returned an interception 31 yards for a touchdown and tight ends Davis and Delanie Walker each caught TD passes of 20- plus yards in San Francisco's third straight win since blow- ing a late lead in a Sept. 18 overtime loss to the Cowboys. Frank Gore ran for a touchdown in his second straight 100-yard rushing game, but a late injury to wide receiver Joshua Morgan put a damper on what had been a near-perfect day. If anybody questioned how good these Niners (4-1) really were after wins against teams such as Seattle or Cincinnati, the past two weeks are more telling: a comeback win at Philadelphia last Sunday fol- lowed by a lopsided home win over the former NFC South leader. Josh Freeman never found the flow that made him so effective in the rout here last November and the Bucs (3-2) were a step behind in a short week after beating the Colts on Monday night. Tampa Bay lost its cool, too — and lost a share of the South lead in the process. A testy Bucs coach Raheem Morris received an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty with 9:05 left in the third quarter for yelling in the face of line judge Mark MCT photo 49ers Carlos Rogers (22) dances in the end zone after scoring a touchdown in the second quarter Sunday at Candlestick Park, after intercepting a pass intended for Tampa Bay Buccaneers Kellen Winslow. Steinkerchner. Just more than five min- utes later, safety Sean Jones had a late hit to Kendall Hunter's head after the play was over. Linebacker Dekoda Watson was flagged for an unsportsmanlike penalty 4 seconds into the fourth quar- ter that set up Davis' second TD catch. With Smith making all the right calls behind center, those occasional Blue Angels fly- overs for Fleet Week just added some extra entertain- ment on a gorgeous fall after- noon in the Bay Area. A 2 1/2-point favorite coming in, the 49ers delivered a shocking blowout. Smith made his mark, going 11 for 19 for 170 yards and no sacks or interceptions before giving way to rookie backup Colin Kaepernick midway through the fourth. The 49ers are 4-1 for the first time since 2002, the last time the franchise had a win- ning record and reached the playoffs — four head coaches ago. Next up will be the biggest test yet: a Week 6 road game at Detroit, with the Lions unbeaten heading into Mon- day night's home game with the Bears. San Francisco came out of halftime with an 80-yard, seven-play scoring drive capped by Davis' 23-yard TD grab. Walker caught a 26-yard pass for the 49ers' on their opening drive of the game. David Akers kicked field goals of 37 and 27 yards. 1B Monday October 10, 2011 Raiders beat Texans after Davis' death
