Game Story

Ken "Snake" Stabler was fantastic as Oakland smoked New England by the score of 37 to 7. Stabler passed the ball 21 times for 218 yards and lit up the scoreboard for 4 touchdowns. Oakland had a good start outscoring New England 21 to 0 in the first quarter. They led after three quarters 31 to 7. A bright spot for New England was a pass to Randy Vataha that covered 59 yards with 7:43 left in the 3rd quarter. But in the end that fine effort was wasted..
