Michael Crabtree caught a 13-yard touchdown pass from Derek Carr with 22 seconds left in the first half for the Raiders’ first touchdown.

The Raiders and Chargers are tied, 10-10, at halftime. The Chargers got their only touchdown on the game’s first drive when Philip Rivers hit Travis Benjamin on a 47-yard touchdown.

Before Crabtree’s touchdown, the Raiders had settled for a field goal and Latavius Murray fumbled inside the Chargers’ 10-yard line. Carr was also intercepted inside the Chargers’ 10-yard line by Trovon Reed.

The Raiders clinch a playoff berth and take first place in the AFC West with a win.
