OAKLAND, Calif. – Trent Green nearly played a perfect half, tender ribs and all, to lead the Chiefs to an important comeback win.

Green completed 14 of 15 passes after halftime for 229 of his 340 yards and hit Eddie Kennison for a tiebreaking 70-yard touchdown with 2:04 left in Kansas City’s 34-27 victory over the Oakland Raiders on Sunday.

Kennison’s game-winning catch came at the 35-yard line, then he ran out of the grasp of rookie safety Stuart Schweigert. The Chiefs (4-8) scored on all four of their second-half possessions to end a four-game losing streak.

Larry Johnson scored two second-half touchdowns, on a 5-yard run and a 10-yard reception from Green, who was questionable all week with sore ribs.

Raiders quarterback Kerry Collins earned cheers for once from Oakland’s unforgiving fans, but couldn’t pull off a victory in the waning seconds as he did a week ago in a thrilling 25-24 win over the Broncos in the snow. Collins was sacked in Oakland’s final drive and also threw four incomplete passes.

The Raiders (4-8) haven’t won at home since beating Tampa Bay in Week 3.

Collins connected with Ronald Curry for two of his three touchdown passes and was 27-of-41 for 343 yards without an interception.

Curry had TD receptions of 34 and 26 yards for the Raiders before being carted off with 5:46 remaining with a hurt left foot. Jerry Porter caught a 51-yard scoring pass.

Curry was having a career game when he took a hard hit from safety Willie Pile on a 22-yard catch with 5:46 left in the fourth quarter. Collins scrambled under pressure before releasing the pass to Curry, who had to leap to make the play.

Curry had nine catches for a career-high 141 yards – a Raiders’ season high – and two touchdowns.

Lawrence Tynes kicked a 22-yard field goal, his second of the game, for the Chiefs to tie it at 27 with 6:59 remaining.

Sebastian Janikowski kicked field goals of 27 and 36 yards for the Raiders.

Four-time Pro Bowl cornerback Charles Woodson, who played some safety to defend tight end Tony Gonzalez, got his first interception of the season 10:35 before halftime and returned it 25 yards, giving the Raiders the ball at their own 48 and setting up Collins’ 34-yard touchdown pass to Curry three plays later.

The Raiders’ celebratory behavior appeared to anger the Chiefs on several occasions, especially after Kansas City running back Derrick Blaylock left the game with a mild neck strain early in the second quarter after a hard hit from cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha.

Blaylock, who started in place of injured star Priest Holmes, was tackled immediately while trying to make a catch on an incomplete pass. He left the game at the 12:48 mark of the second quarter, then returned midway through the third quarter.

Both teams played without their top runners.

Holmes is sidelined with a sprained ligament in his right knee, and Oakland’s Tyrone Wheatley is out with a torn hamstring.

Oakland linebacker DeLawrence Grant, who started the first nine games, was inactive for the third straight week and wasn’t even visible on the sideline Sunday. The only thing coach Norv Turner has said about Grant’s absence is that some of it has to do with performance.
