Oakland came from a 10-0 halftime deficit to crush Philadelphia in the final two quarters dominated by Daryle Lamonica's quarterbacking. He passed for TDs to Fred Biletnikoff and Eldridge Dickey and Biletnikoff's eight receptions made him the Raiders' all-time leading receiver. George Blanda had an extra-point kick attempt blocked, ending his streak at 201, a mark second only to the 245 set by San Francisco's Tommy Davis.
