OAKLAND, Calif., Dec. 9 (UPI) -- Rich Gannon ran for a touchown and threw for another and Tim Brown returned a punt 88 yards to record his 100th NFL touchdown Sunday as the Oakland Raiders eked out their fifth straight victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, 28-26.
Gannon's scores helped lift the Raiders into a four-point halftime lead. But the All-Pro quarterback was stripped by defensive end Duane Clemons with two minutes left in the game and safety Greg Wesley recovered at the Oakland 28.
Chiefs tight end Tony Gonzalez caught a 24-yard touchdown pass from Trent Green to close the Kansas City deficit to 28-26. But Green was sacked on the two-point conversion attempt and the ensuing onside kick failed as the Raiders (9-3) secured their position atop the AFC West.
Oakland returner David Dunn muffed a punt last Sunday in overtime and Arizona rookie LeVar Woods recovered at the Raiders' 25, helping set up a field goal as the Raiders suffered a surprising 34-31 loss. Dunn was released earlier in the week.
Brown became the 13th player in NFL history with 100 touchdowns. He also caught four passes against the Chiefs (3-9), who he has victimized for 1,754 receiving yards -- his highest total against any opponent.
Priest Holmes had 22 carries for 168 yards, becoming the first Kansas City running back to gain 1,000 yards in a season since 1991.
