Ray Guy's greatest game as a punter. He was the MVP of this game.

Charlie Jones, Snake, Earl Campbell, Dave Casper, Van Eeghen. Dont get any better than this.

How many ex-Raiders were on that Houston team? Stabler, Tatum, Casper...

Jim Plunkett bombs away, two time Super Bowl winner, should be in the Hall of Fame-

I was at that game.

Great example of Plunket's ability to throw against the grain.

Wow this is a beautiful recording

Looked like A Raider intra squad game . What a difference in O lines . ! Sure Casper , Tatum and the Snake wished they were on the other side

Jim Plunkett was an exceptionally accurate passer. He and Cliff Branch were fun to watch.

Jim Plunkett vs Kenny Stabler

I love the Oakland raiders best player to me was Lester Hayes a great cornerback he is in my top 10

Dam I'm a Raiders fan but it was hard to watch the snake get hammered like that and he sure look out of place with out the black and silver.

I remember this game I was working at KFC in Fremont CA a senior in high school and a lifelong Raider fan. It was weird to see Stabler, Casper and Tatum playing for the other side (my Daughter is named Tatum) I got off work at 2 pm and was in an insane hurry to get home before the second half started

how weird is this, two Hall of Fame Raiders in the wrong uniforms at 7:50

So ended the Oilers' mini-dynasty (1978-1980) prematurely. In 1978 and 1979 it looked like the Raider dynasty was over and the Oilers were beginning one. But convention brought the Old Guard back and the latter stubbed its toe here. Houston faded as Earl Campbell's body broke down, only reloading by 1987, the beginning of seven straight one and done playoff exits for the Oilers. The Chargers also had a dynasty that barely happened, 1979-1982 although two visits to the AFC Title Game were better than many franchises could dream of. Finally the Eagles would-be dynasty was short-circuited by Dick Vermeil's burnout, 1978-1981. Not good to be sleeping in your office as an NFL coach.

dark side: my ex brother in law played for the oilers, drafted in 1980. In 1989 he was traded and subsequently cut from the Chargers before the season started. Tim Smith, football star his entire life, quickly lost his mind as he was no longer THE STAR. He walked away from his family at this time; my sister and the fours kids under the age of ten that he "fathered". Thankfully my sister divorced that POS and moved on, spending the next 35 years with a math teacher she met when she went back to college get her masters in mathematics (which she taught until her recent retirement). That man was the real hero of the story, having helped her raise Smith's kids, build a home that was safe and loving for them to grow up in. Still together today! Pro athletes are often like child actors... they crumble once they're outta the game. Smith having been kid worshipped by his parents for his entire life didn't help. He had NO TOOLS for existing outside of being the football star he was in his youth. When I was young he was the world to me, and later in life I realized what an immature, hopelessly lost man he was, you know, after being caught cheating w/ a cheerleader in Houston and then the cocaine, and then the embezzlement and subsequent prison time. Now, his alcoholic father is dead along with his enabling mother, and his brother will never speak to him again. Ah, the life of a pro athlete can be so rewarding.

25:45

Huh? Cliff Branch 6'2"? NBC f'd up!

Angelo Fields -- He is a regular sized O-line in 2023 -- I forgot about him -- He was not that fat either.

The last game the Oilers used gray facemasks

Glory!!!!!!

😢bum. Phillip's. Shouldnt. Have. Been. Fired. The. Next. Day

Stabler was horrible that year. 13 TD 28 int. Yikes

The Oilers lost to the eventual Super Bowl Champions 3 years in a row

If only houston had a qb in 1980. Maybe they'd win the Super Bowl
