Saints at Raiders – Fourth Quarter

After three quarters, the score is Saints 38, Raiders zilch.  The Saints have gained 404 yards to the Raiders’ 196.

Raiders’ tenth possession (cont.) – With heavy pressure, Garcia throws two incompletions and the Raiders turn the ball over at the Saints’ 22-yard line.

Saints’ eleventh possession – Joey Harrington comes in at quarterback for the Saints.  The Saints, in a hurry to finish this game, start the drive with three runs for 30 yards.  The Raiders force the Saints to a fourth and seven play, but Harrington finds a receiver wide open for 19 yards.  On third and eight, Harrington finds another receiver for 13, putting the Saints on the Raiders 13-yard line.  On fourth and 8, from the Raiders’ nine, Harrington throws over Jerome Boyd in the corner of the end zone for another Saints score.

Saints 45 – Raiders 0

Saints kickoff – Miller returns the kick from the Raiders’ eight-yard line to the Raiders’ 41 for a 33-yard return.

Raiders’ eleventh possession – The Raiders finally score when Garcia hits Jonathan Holland for a 43-yard touchdown strike.  They began the drive with three runs for 17 yards by Gary Russell.  Janikowski came in for the extra point.

Saints 45 – Raiders 7

I’ll finish this later.  With 2-minutes left, the score is still 45-7 Saints.  The Saints have the ball on the Raiders’ 36-yard line and I’m about to go in and interview the players.
