NFL game summary for 12/22/1973:
A 361-yard offense, led by quarterback Ken Stabler, running back Marv Hubbard and two pivotal interceptions carried the Raiders into the AFC championship game for the second time in four years. Stabler set a divisional playoff record for percentage of completions with 14 of 17 (82.4 percent) and Hubbard ran 20 times for 91 yards to lead the 232-yard attack. Willie Brown's 54-yard scoring return on an interception and George Atkinson's steal that set up one of George Blanda's four field goals turned a 16-7 game into a 26-7 Raiders' romp midway through the second half.
