Oakland QB Daryle Lamonica peers over center Jim Otto in the Raiders'29-14 defeat of the Houston Oilers to win the 1967 AFL Championship. Read along with the #1 song from the last week of December,1967 –
Nobody But Me Oakland,Dec. 31 –The Oakland Raiders won the AFL Championship with five field goals from George Blanda and a pair of touchdown tosses by Daryle Lamonica. The Raiders overcame an interception return for a touchdown by Houston defensive back W.K. Hicks on the game’s first play from scrimmage. Oakland managed only a pair of Blanda field goals in the remainder of the first half,however the Raider defense was a stone wall to the meek Oiler attack. In the second half,the Oilers denied the Raiders from reaching the end zone,and Blanda was called upon again for an 18 yard chip shot. The field goal finally gave the Raiders the lead,9-7. Oakland broke through in the final moments of the third quarter after Lamonica found Clem Daniels in the end zone for an 11 yard score. However,the Oilers responded immediately as Zeke Moore returned the ensuing kickoff 90 yards for a Houston touchdown which cut the Oakland lead back to a slim two-point margin. The Raider defense dominated the game thusfar,but Lamonica and the Oakland offense were unable to put the Oilers away. The Oiler defense and special teams were keeping Houston in the game as the game reached its final quarter.
The fourth quarter maintained the theme of the entire game. Oakland drove downfield on its first two possessions,only to settle for a pair of Blanda field goals for a 22-14 lead. Houston was unable to convert a first down on its next two possessions. As the Raiders drove downfield for the final time,the clock ran out on the Oilers. Lamonica found Billy Cannon for a short touchdown toss with less than a minute remaining,and the celebration erupted in Oakland. The Raiders will face the Dallas Cowboys in the second annual NFL-AFL Championship Game. The Cowboys are listed as prohibitive favorites with a thirteen-and-a half point spread. 1967A Playoffs –The AFL Championship Game | Houston Oilers at Oakland Raiders |

A Raider team that knows how to win,I’d forgotten that they ever existed. Thanks for a great replay,and a great website.
