OAKLAND, Calif., Dec. 13 (UPI) -- Jason Campbell and Quinton Ganther accounted for four touchdowns Sunday, helping Washington end a four-game losing streak with a 34-13 victory at Oakland.

It was their largest point total this season.

Campbell completed 16-of-28 passes for 222 yards with both touchdown passes thrown to second-year tight end Fred Davis.

Ganther, an Oakland native, gained 50 yards on 14 carries with his touchdowns on 1-yard, fourth-quarter runs.

Rookie linebacker Brian Orakpo made four of the defense's eight sacks, while Graham Gano kicked two field goals in his first NFL contest for the 4-9 Redskins.

Justin Fargas scored a touchdown and Sebastian Janikowski kicked two field goals for the Raiders (4-9), who failed to build on their surprise 27-24 win at Pittsburgh.

Quarterback Bruce Gradkowski suffered a right ankle injury.
