NFL game summary for 09/27/1970:
Two long fourth-period passes by John Hadl for touchdowns enabled San Diego to tie Oakland, the first deadlock in the 11-year rivalry between these Pacific Coast clubs. Hadl connected with Jeff Queen for a 65-yard TD and then reached Lance Alworth on a 37-yarder with two minutes remaining. Pete Banaszak scored twice for the Raiders, and a scoring pass to Fred Biletnikoff kept Daryle Lamonica's game-string alive at 18.
