SAN DIEGO -- Philip Rivers threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to Malcom Floyd on the game's third play from scrimmage, and the San Diego Chargers held on for a lackluster 13-6 victory against winless Oakland on Sunday, extending the Raiders' losing streak to 16.
Rivers hurt his right leg midway through the third quarter but stayed in the game. The injury appeared to get progressively worse, and Rivers was walking gingerly on the sideline in the fourth as backup Kellen Clemens warmed up. But Rivers went back in after Sebastian Janikowski kicked a 25-yard field goal to pull the Raiders within a touchdown with four minutes to play.
The Chargers (6-4) snapped a three-game losing streak and welcomed back Ryan Mathews, Manti Te'o and Melvin Ingram, who had been out since September.
The skid by the Raiders (0-10) is the equivalent of a full season. Monday is the one-year anniversary of their last win, 28-23 at Houston.
