Notes:  After the Raiders hold Joe Delaney and the Chiefs to 72 total yards in the first half while racking up 229 of their own, the second half starts out to be more of the same.  Joe Delaney gets knocked out of the game with bruised ribs, and QB Bill Kenney finds lots of receivers – in black shirts.  The Chiefs finally get in the end zone at the end of the third quarter when bench warmer QB Steve Fuller comes in and gets the offense rolling.  Trailing 21-17, Oakland drives down field with less than 2 minutes remaining on the clock and is on KC’s 3-yard line when Charles Jackson knocks the ball out of Wilson’s hands, Spani scoops it up and runs it home for the TD, and the Chiefs hold on for the comeback victory.

Thanks Ed!
