Oakland 7, St. Louis 6

OAKLAND, Calif., Aug. 8 (UPI) -- Jeff Wilkins missed an extra point and a field goal Friday night, allowing Oakland to record a 7-6 exhibition victory over St. Louis.

Entering his seventh full season as the Rams kicker, Wilkins' job appears safe. Owen Pochman is the only other kicker in training camp.

But Wilkins got his preseason off on the wrong foot. The veteran missed a 37-yard field goal in the second quarter and had an extra blocked point midway through the fourth after Kirk Farmer tossed a nine-yard touchdown pass to tight end Cam Cleeland.

Madre Hill, trying to win a spot as a backup running back, scored on a one-yard run in the second quarter for the Raiders. He carried six times for 63 yards.
