OAKLAND, Calif., Nov. 13 (UPI) -- Jake Plummer overcame three interceptions with two touchdown passes Sunday as Denver rallied to beat Oakland, 17-13.

The Raiders had a 13-7 halftime lead on a Lamont Jordan touchdown run and two field goals by Sebastian Janikowski.

Plummer, who threw a touchdown pass to Javon Walker late in the first quarter, tossed a scoring pass to Kyle Johnson early in the fourth to put Denver ahead at 14-13 with 11:06 remaining.

Jason Elam's 24-yard field goal with 1:56 left capped the scoring.

Plummer passed for 210 yards; Walker caught two passes for 62 yards; and Tatum Bell was held to 37 yards on 14 carries for the Broncos (7-2), who have won two of their last three games.

Andrew Walter was only 18-for-33 for 214 yards, no touchdowns or interceptions; Zack Crockett gained 40 yards on seven carries; and Fabian Washington made two interceptions for the Raiders (2-7), who have dropped their last two games.
