Notes:  Kansas City strikes first against the Super Bowl-bound Raiders when QB Steve Fuller engineers a well-run drive that spans 11 plays and 70 yards and culminates in a Ted McKnight touchdown.  The Chiefs defense then does a good job of shutting down Dan Pastorini’s offense until a penalty keeps the drive alive and Oakland ties it up.  Oakland’s defense then tightens the screws and prevents KC from moving the ball with any success.

 

The Raiders pull ahead late in the third quarter on a van Eeghen touchdown run, and they put the game away minutes later after Millen intercepts the ball at the :47 mark.  17 seconds later Hayes comes up with another interception, and Oakland puts 3 more points on the board as a result.  KC puts together a great drive to put the ball in Samuels’ hands in the end zone, and Warpaint gallops across the field.

 

Otis McKinney picks off a tipped pass late in the fourth quarter, giving Oakland the ball on the KC 27-yard line and finishing the day for the Chiefs.

 

Network picture trouble in the first quarter.

 

Thanks Cory!
