OAKLAND, Calif. - Another blown fourth-quarter lead for Oakland led to yet another San Diego win over the Raiders and the possible end of Coach Lane Kiffin's tenure.

Darren Sproles' long kickoff return set up Nate Kaeding's go-ahead 47-yard field goal with 1:51 to play and LaDainian Tomlinson sealed the Chargers' 10th straight win over their AFC West rivals with a 41-yard TD run.

Kiffin's job security had been in question even before the Raiders (1-3) blew a nine-point lead in the fourth quarter last week against Buffalo. Being unable to hold onto a 12-point lead in the fourth quarter against San Diego (2-2) sure won't help his situation.

Tomlinson overcame a slow start to run for 106 yards and two scores.

Oak-Miller 63 pass from Russell (Janikowski kick), 11:22.
