Henry also topped the century mark for the ninth consecutive road game, leaving him one shy of the NFL mark set by Sanders over the 1996 and 1997 seasons.

Derek Carr passed for 316 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions for the Raiders (76), who have lost three of four after a strong start to their relocation season.
