The niners started off reciving, as a result of losing the toss. Clinton Portis was injured on the first play of the drive, so Larry Johnson had to come in. On a third and 6, Ken Hamlin was called for pass interference, continuing the drive. He was also injured on the play. The penalty turned out to be uninportant, as the niners couldn't move more than 3 yards on the next 3 plays. Sander's punt bounced into the endzone. Shawn Alexander got 4 yards on his first carry, but fumbled because of Dan Morgan. Dunta Robinson picked it up and moved forward a yard, but Richard Seymour went down on the play. After a run by Portis, Brad Johnson faked a handoff to him again, and found Chad Johnson wide open for a 17 yard touchdown. Scobee missed the extra point though, some thought him to be injured, but he wasn't. Derrick Blaylock, the Raiders return man, was injured on the subsequent kick off, after taking a hard hit from Brodney Pool. After a big sack of Vick by Randy Starks, it was 3rd and 13. Vick found David Givens for a gain of 17 yards. A 36 yard catch by Billy Miller brought the Raiders to the 20 yard line. Vick ended the drive with a 9 yard touchdown run on the last play of the first quarter.
BJ Sams fumbled the kickoff, giving the Raiders the ball at the 32. A third down sack by Matt Roth put the Raiders at the 37 yard line, just in range for a 54 yard Adam Vinetari field goal attempt. It split the uprights, giving the Raiders a 4 point lead. On a third and 9 at their own 21, Brad Johnson completed a 46 yard pass to Chad Johnson. The following 30 yard catch by Jabar Gaffney put the 49ers at the 5 yard line with 2 minutes left in the half. They couldn't move the ball anywhere but backwards, so Scobee put up a 26 yard field goal. The 49ers forced a punt with 50 seconds left on the That was 33 seconds to long, as the Brad Johnson only needed 18 seconds to hook up with Chad Johnson for their second touchdown, this one 76 yards. Scobee actually made this extra point, putting the 49ers up by 6. The Raiders moved the ball, but didn't score again before half time.
The Raiders had a quick 3 and out on their first second half possession. 2 David Garrard passes, 4 Larry Johnson runs, and a Garrard 1 yard touchdown run later, the 49ers made the score 22-10. They couldn't convert, and stayed up by 12. The third quarter came to an end with the Raiders driving.
However, they couldn't continue their drive, failing to convert on a 4th and 17. Garrard couldn't continue his magic though, as he lead the 49ers down to the red zone, but threw it to Hannibal Navies. He ran it back to the 24. After nickel and diming it down the feild, Quincy Carter ran it in from 3 yards out. Jabar Gaffney picked up the onside kick, icing the win. The niners ran a simple toss to Larry Johnson, and he took it 52 yards, to put the niners up 29-17 with the Scobee kick. After an Antwan Odom sack on 4th down (his third on the day), the niners got the ball back for 6 seconds. This was just enough time for a David Garrard to Doug Gabriel touchdown, extending the lead to 36 to 17.
