OAKLAND -- Tennessee quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Kendall Wright with 10 seconds left Sunday to beat the Raiders 23-19.
The score capped an 80-yard touchdown drive in 14 plays after the Raiders had gone up 19-16 on Matt McGloin's 27-yard touchdown pass to Marcel Reece with 6:10 to play.
The loss prevented the Raiders (4 -7) from consecutive victories for the first time since October 2012. It also kept them from joining a six-team logjam for the sixth spot in the AFC playoff stack. Instead, the Titans moved into that spot along with Miami, the Jets, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, and San Diego -- all at 5-6.
The Raiders, who play Thanksgiving Day at Dallas, got four field goals from Sebastian Janikowski, who converted from 52, 48, 24 and 42 yards. But Janikowski missed from 32 and 48 yards.
The Titans scored early in the third quarter on a 54-yard touchdown pass from Fitzpatrick to Justin Hunter. Hunter not only broke free in the area of cornerback Phillip Adams and safety Brandian Ross, but juked both men to turn a medium-depth completion into a big-play touchdown.
Tennessee also got field goals of 33, 22 and 23 yards from Rod Bironas.
Fitzpatrick completed 30 of 42 passes for 320 yards and two touchdowns.
McGloin, kept out of the end zone until 6:10 remained, was 18 of 30 for 254 yards with the touchdown pass to Reece and one interception. He had four passes batted down at the line of scrimmage.
