Attendance 53,330 Big plays in the seconds on either side of halftime turned a tough game into a rout, as the Raiders won their first AFL title with a 40-7 victory against Houston. The Raiders led 10-0 in the final minute of the half, the big play having been a 69-yard run by , who had been converted to fullback after three years at tight end with Denver. The Raiders lined up for a field goal attempt from the Houston 17, but, instead, took the snap and threw to a wide open for a touchdown with 18 seconds remaining to build the lead to 17-0. The Oilers hoped for a big play to open the second half, and they got it, but it was in favor of the Raiders. Zeke Moore fumbled the kickoff and Oakland recovered deep in Houston territory, leading to Lamonica's one-yard quarterback sneak.
